They often go unnoticed
as you make your way through downtown
Durango, staring down at you as you go about your business.
Or
perhaps you take their spark of color for granted as
you make your
way past stop signs and traffic lights. Yet, stop and
look, and you’ll
notice that virtually every corner, nook and cranny
of our downtown
has one. We are, of course, talking about the multitude
of murals
that grace the walls and byways lining our city streets.
Whether portraying
events, real or imagined, or just serving as billboards,
they
shed light on the unique and colorful history of our
town.
