Who Remembers This Mural?
…And the story behind it?

The Night Elephant
This rare creature was sighted this evening. In chalk on brick, it is likely to vanish tomorrow when the rains come.

‘Survivor Game’ Both Entertains and ‘Weirds Out’ Laurel Street Neighbors
A residence on Laurel Street has been using toy super hero figurines to act out an imaginary game of ‘Survivor’ in their small front yard. No real violence has been involved, though some of the figures are left in what looks like obvious distress.

While some of the children who live across the street are enthralled and look every day to see the latest happenings in the yard, their parents are still making up their own minds about what these games represent.
“Some of these figures look just so lost and forlorn,” said one parent named Teresa.
Indeed, this one, was evidently ‘voted off the island’ and did not even make it:
“If this is how the college kids want to entertain themselves these days, and they don’t hurt anyone else, I am ok with it,” stated a neighbor named Becky (ed. note: neighbors declined to give last names for this post).
No Easter eggs have been seen with the toy figures… yet.

From yesterday evening…

Oregon Hill is full of the remnants of old art projects.
