At 8th and Massachusetts in Lawrence, there's a new gem of a mural planned and painted by a local Girl Scout Troop #2856. Endangered, But Not Forgotten is the theme of this mural. These young ladies have created such a remarkable story about the animals of Kansas that are threatened in one way or another. Everything I looked at brought a smile to my face and a reminder of hope. The beautiful bat family. The cheeky little salamander. The curious turtle makes this a mural you have got to see!!
You can find it on the wall of Ad Astra Running behind Kizer Cummings Jewelers. It's in this little landscaped nook.
Thank you Girl Scouts for this wonderful addition to our city!!
