Over 130 volunteer hours went into this new mural on the side of the YMCA Hilltop Computer Center. One of the project managers told us they had more than 20 volunteers from 7–60 years old assisting lead artists Shalaman Johnson, Israel Bey and Anthony Gentri.  Sections of the mural represent some of the heritage and ethnicity of this neighborhood, showing the changing backgrounds of the local residents.  Whether long time residents who's ancestors immigrated here or new immigrants to the area,  all are now members of this neighborhood.






This is the mural that was replaced here. We never were able to locate any information on this one.
