This bright, colorful mural represents the blue–colar, working class history of Greenfield. It wasn’t that long ago when the workers left each morning carrying a lunch box. Even if we never had a job like that, most of us can remember our father or uncle or some other relative with that familiar symbol of the middle class laborer.

Ian Thomas outlined this mural and added numbers for the appropriate colors to be filled in. Then local kids were invited to help with the giant paint–by–numbers project. True community participation and some great memories for those kids.
