"No. 17 will forever be ours"
imho art like this belongs to the city.
- NamTaf 13y agoThey were, confusingly, referring to 'No[v]. 17'. The prior sentence refers to a new day coming, which is 'No[v]. 18'. I have no idea why they didn't go with the accepted abbreviation of November as 'Nov'. They weren't referring to building number 17. Just clarifying, not disagreeing with your statement :)
- e28eta 13y agoIt means the #17, as in the 17th painting by Banksy, as the article says early on.
- NamTaf 13y agoAha, my bad. Thanks for the correction. It makes more sense now that I think about it; I'm almost a month early for it to be Nov. 17th.
- fotbr 13y ago>I have no idea why they didn't go with the accepted abbreviation of November as 'Nov'. Perhaps because they're talking about October?

- cowsandmilk 13y agoeverything in the article suggests they are looking to preserve this piece, not take it away from the city, I'm not sure where you believe your disagreement comes from, considering the inherently ambiguous definition of "ours". Thus far, the owner is out of pocket for security guards to protect the piece after someone vandalized it. In fact, most of Banksy's pieces have been vandalized, so sadly, it seems security is needed.
