We, the undersigned below, support keeping the Cyclorama in its current location in Grant Park. We want to recognize its 120+ years history with the community, the local context of scenes painted and the economic impact heritage tourism brings to SE Atlanta neighborhoods and businesses. We ask the Task Force show fiscal responsibility in determinging this matter. We want to ensure the best solutions for conserving the historic painting are pursued. We advocate using funds to retain, upgrade and modify the exhibit content and historic building at the current location rather than move it from the historical events events portrayed.

Leave it alone! We need the tourism money in our part of town not somewhere else.

Stop wasting tax money moving stuff that isnt broken. Fix the building and keep it local where it actually makes sense.

Why mess with what works? Just restore the painting and upgrade the facilities. Should be a no brainer.

Grant Park is the only place it belongs. My kids have been going there forever and it is part of our neighborhood history.

The cyclorama is grant parks pride and joy. Moving it would be such a slap in the face to all the people who live here.
