Woman at the corner of Petworth Liquors

Such a really nice mural and its by Petworth Liquors...Why? Great color composition with an active street scene to her left.
As I've been adding this Google map Street views, its kinda cool seeing that most of these posts and the associated street pieces usually don't appear. I haven't been able to find if Google calls out when the photos are taken but I curious if they are recent.
Well is a perfect example of where street art can really activate the street scape and improve the areas surrounding. I wonder how these pieces are "protected" by other artists. Maybe there's an unspoken rule, if there isn't, there should be :)
