It takes us to a lot of interesting places. Floridian towns have at least one mural and some have quite a few more.
Deland has many and they're very impressive.
We were in Palatka, near the St. Johns River, and a marina's wall features a very elaborate one indeed. I'll post it when I get the pictures uploaded.
Shay Fox (WOFL FOX 35 reporter on March 10, 2009) - Beautiful murals outline city walls in DeLand. Mural artist, Courtney Canova, said they were created to honor the history of the city. Yet, they have been repeatedly defaced by vandals.
"It's a storyline and there's a story behind the mural and everything else, and when it starts getting tagged, it distracts. Just seeing it was very disappointing," said Canova.
About seven years ago, Canova and local students painted one of the vandalized murals, to honor the men and women of color who lived and worked in the city in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
