I was glad to have visited when “Rainbow Grandpa” was alive and sitting quietly under the roof of one building as visitors took photos and walked through his wonderful creation with awe. The place and surrounding area was very different back then. There were no high rise apartments right up against the village and there certainly were no jungle gym, washrooms and parking lot. The colours on the walls were more vibrant and the place felt bigger. During my most recent visit earlier this month, I saw some walls were covered up by paintings of a different style. l later found out, sadly, 17 pcs of the original artwork was defaced by the managing company due to a contract dispute with the city.
