Done 7 years ago as a beautification project, The Gas Station Theatre’s and adjacent plaza’s surrounding planters were all painted.

Located at 445 River Avenue, the Artist is Unknown

In 2006, the owners of the property were asked not to plant flowers in the planters because criminals were stashing their drugs and weapons in them.

I was there in the fall of 2012. There was enough dead plants in the planters to suggest that the beautification had succeeded and vegetation is once again welcomed.

There’s still lots more!
