CLEARWATER - Herb Quintero, who has long thought the fish mural painted on the side of his tackle shop was a work of art, had until Monday to cover it up.

And he did – with a copy of the First Amendment.

His act of defiance is the latest chapter in his fight with the city's code department, which views the mural as a business sign for Quintero's tackle shop, the Complete Angler, 705 N. Fort Harrison Ave.

"It's not a sign; it's art," he said. "Therefore it shouldn't fall under the guidelines."

Meanwhile, the city's legal department is looking to see what, if anything, it can do about the First Amendment banner.
