Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

Old Gas Station and Mural update

  State Street, Black Mountain NC



OK, on June 28 I parked and walked along the curb to see what was happening. One thing was that there really wasn't room to walk by active traffic...most of whom are from out of town and don't follow the 20 mph speed limit.



This is the first time I've seen workers there...back in the darkness of the interior. I have read in a local social media that the gas station will be turned into a nice restaurant!

And just as the mural suggests, this building will house glass blowers. I hope they don't remove the mural, but how will we get in to see them otherwise? 

I think last week some school students were invited to paint the flowers.

 The people are also beginning to look alive.


Another shot from my car on June 29th...there are workers sitting inside the garage at least...

A big whoopee, I stopped at a red light, and got this shot...see that person painting the mural!!


Inch by inch, or stroke by stroke...this mural is coming alive!

I do hope it will be preserved when the shop behind it opens!
