These murals are at 1812 Main Street.

Body Sugar
This is all that is left of a Mural that once covered the front and side indent of a building at 835 Corydon Avenue.
It is occupied by Advanced Body Sugaring, a business that removes body hair with sugar. They have retained only the side indent painting.
