One of Cincinnati's most amazing summer programs is Muralworks, a collaboration between the city of Cincinnati and the non-profit, Artworks to install murals in various Cincinnati neighborhoods.
Two of the newest murals in our neck of the woods honor a pair of Cincinnati icons, Jim Tarbell and Samuel Hannaford.
The Tarbell mural is a quirky welcome to the ever-growing Gateway Quarter of Over-the-Rhine. Check out 5chw4r7z's post here for some pics
Just a few blocks north is the mural honoring the works of Samuel Hannaford and Emanuel's unique view of Washington Park. Visualingual has some pics and comments on the mural here.
While some have commented about the mural appearing on the south side of the building (on Race St. which is one way Southbound), keep in mind that the plans for the Washington Park garage call for 13th to be made two ways to accommodate a Race Street entrance to the underground garage.
In the meantime park-goers and pedestrians enjoy!

Hey, thanks for the shoutout!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the Hannaford mural, it would have been wrong to do it only to accommodate car drivers.
OTR just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it? We should be careful what we wish for though, once the streetcar goes through, there won't be room to walk with all the people there.
