Over the last few years Fort Wayne has slowly been becoming decorated with murals. Murals on buildings, on fronts and in alley ways. They are fun to come upon as you walk around the city. One of my favorites is the long, bright mural on the wall supporting an elevated stretch of railroad across the parking lot from my apartment building. It's so much more appealing than the drab gray expanse that it was before. Now, according to a recent news report, the city is trying something new. Murals painted around drain covers. They showed a few examples and they were cute. Pictures and messages reminding people that these drains are for run off water (rain water) not garbage. I questioned if these creations should be called murals because they're not on walls but Google has reassured me that murals can be painted directly on a wall, ceiling, or other permanent surface. The next time you take a walk downtown, look around but also look down.
