I have always enjoyed murals in the various towns I have visited over the years. I have taken photos of some of them and shared some as well. Recently I went through all the murals I could find and put them in their own folder. Most of them depict a time in the history of the town. I have given credit, when known, and will continue to do so as I post some from time to time.
This was taken in Louisiana, Mo and it was painted by Alex Stelios-Wills. You can read about it here. I also read the following information in the Visitors Guide to Louisiana, MO. In 2000 the Louisiana Mural Organization was formed with the purpose of improving the visual aesthetics of this historic river town as well as supporting the new specialty businesses, the fine restaurants, and bed and breakfasts. To date 23 murals are proudly displayed and Louisiana has been named Route 79 Mural city by Mayoral proclamation and is awaiting a similar proclamation from the Missouri House and Senate. I hope you enjoy these and I have not tried to fix the wear and tear they have suffered over the years.
