| Mural Work Creates a Buzz! |
 The wall at 25 Essex Street is changing fast! Essex Gateway Mural panels created by hundreds of community members are being applied to the wall, then blended into a complete image by the artist team--led by James Tafel Shuster (seond from right), with intern Amanda Brack, local artist Jeff Grassie, and artist Josh Shaffner. Mayor Fiorentini welcomed the artists on Monday, and received a framed mural image for his office from Alice Mann and Leota Sarrette. Above the artists' heads, a bit of the two-story image of Kay Green-Byrd is visible. Except when it's raining, the artists expect to be on site from 9 am to 5 pm weekdays.
