Is it Time For the Code Pink Shoe Memorial to Go?

The Code Pink memorial has been set up outside Busboys and Poets on 14th and V Streets, NW for quite a while. When it was originally placed there memorializing civilians killed in the Iraq war (I think) I found it very moving. But I don’t think it was ever meant to be a permanent memorial. It is looking more like an eyesore, to me, these days. What do you think – is it time for this memorial to be removed?
