That mural was originally beautiful. Clean and simple. Every time it gets cleaned up or “restored” it looks worse. Too bad.
Seriously. How is that even possible? Or are they taking more and more artistic license every time? I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’d rather see the original still peeking out through years worth of graffiti.
What a great tribute to one of my favorite trees, the black walnut! Unfortunately, the Boulevard Sentinel article does not list an author. Anyone know who wrote it?
The Blvd. Sentinel is owned and published by Tom Topping. If no author is listed, he probably wrote the article. He’ll welcome your call or email.
Thanks Carol!
