I think art can be noble too.

Alice Ewen Walker posted a note earlier on the "Mural Idealist" thread
that said, "The town approved the goal not the particulars. Where it
goes and what it looks like was not decided.

"We want to work with Chris to see if we can secure a spot with State
Highway Authorities.... Chris brought an example of the kind of design
or mural they are thinking about just to give some idea."

I think so too! I also think it's really hard, based on what I've seen
here on TownTalk....
