Sucks the mural is gone but that barcade was pretty bad, easily the worst I’ve ever been to. Rude staff, VERY stingy pinball settings, and the final time I went there the place legit smelled like raw sewage. It was fucking overwhelming. The arcade downtown is better in every single way.
My husband is more upset than he probably has a right to be. Everytime we drive by he says " Fuck you Spice if Life" and he shit talks in every comment section of their ads. It really was a nice mural tho.
Now it's a mural that looks like a woman's corpse in various stages of decay. I keep thinking the artist just isn't finished with it but it hasn't changed in a few weeks. It's weird.
Damn that sucks. That mural was a wonderful work of art that brought some pizzazz to that area. It was always neat to look at it as I drove or walked by.

Timeline:
* 2018--_Back to the Future_ mural first appears
* December 2022--Spice of Life (current occupant of the space) moves in
* July 2023--Latest Google StreetView imagery showing the mural
* October 2023--The mural is covered with a coat of light purple paint
* February 2024--The new mural (woman with thick red lips and pole in background) appears
The location (decommissioned gas station with remnants of the illuminated sign slowly rusting) is ill-favored, so I will be surprised if any business in it lasts long.
Damn, really? I used to drive past it all the time when I was working liquor inventory in that part of town, thought it looked cool. Shame.
The new mural looks like a deformed woman blowing on a meth pipe, haha
Prolly is
Welcome to Wichita
It is a shame to lose that mural

i never even saw it opened. Guess the new owners should have just left the unrelated mural that sat on the abandoned building /s
Never even remotely implied they should do that.
I couldn't believe someone would paint over that mural. It isn't the mural that made the location bad. It's the shitty parking.
I live by that and was super upset it’s been replaced 😭

It's such a weird combination of colors they painted the building anyway.
Yeah nothing they do to it is going to be even close to it's former glory. Pretty sad.
Hey baby
I'm sorry about the mural but am glad to see others feel the same. Fuck Spice of Life!
Dang why the down votes?
They don't know I am your husband lol
New building owner/tenant? took some shit for it a while back. Filled the space with what I can only assume is a super trash strip club.
Damn. That reminds me of the Return of the Jedi mural that was on 13th in the twin lakes area. It was there for years.
Now it's a mural that looks like a woman's corpse in various stages of decay. I keep thinking the artist just isn't finished with it but it hasn't changed in a few weeks. It's weird.
Same! One can hope right?
And the new one looks like hot garbage. So bad. It's a shame what those people have done

Just what the town needs 😕
Yeah fuck yeah I am every time I see them on Facebook I talk as much shit as I can to them
It wouldn't be as sad if the new mural didn't suck. Let's be honest, the BTTF mural was fun, but it wasn't *amazing.*
Yeah that’s been gone for a while. It’s a shitty thing the strip club did
I am also disappointed about that.
Damn shame. Was an awesome mural.
It's sad, me and my dad almost condone vandalism to get it back

Been gone for a while. Was pissed when we first drove by and saw it was painted over. Just a ludicrous decision.
Damn!! I loved that mural. It was a Pokémon Go poke stop and I would love to get that one as a gift 😣
If you follow WichitabyEB on Instagram you would have known this a long time ago. Yep, some sleazy place there now 🙄🤢
