-  On September 30, the city abandoned the claim that the interpretation of van Gogh's "Starry Night" on a mural along Old Highway 441 was graffiti.    Although the painting contains no words or symbols, code enforcement had also deemed it an illegal sign.  The magistrate hired by the city agreed and now the homeowners can appeal to the circuit court.
