We have a big mural like that in down town Petaluma, too--it depicts the "chicken and egg" history of the town.

@xstitcher Yes, keeping historical buildings preserved for future generations is impodtant.

@Aquitaine24 I'm sure it is--it's downtown where all the historical buildings are.

Oh, I love that a lot of cities are now doing murals on their buildings! We have some really great ones here!

I always hate it when communities do these. To me it seems to cheapen the area and never looks as good as what the people who do them and allow them think. When I see communities with murals, for me it is usually a reminder to lock the doors and roll up the windows.
