A project steering committee with representatives from each partner/organization as well as prominent community members was assembled to organize this project. The plants on the green wall will grow and thrive thanks to their built-in irrigation system. The design, created by artist April Sunami (who has family ties to Walnut Hills), is meant to represent the literal and figurative growth of the community. Youth worked with Professional Artists to executed the project which seamlessly integrates with a living green wall, designed by Urban Blooms."

The Flying Pig Marathon is a qualifying race for the Boston Marathon, and the third largest in the country, attracting participants from all fifty states and from many countries around the world annually.

The mural is massive and features a dog with a space helmet and stick looking people with numbers counting up to 15. Kinds reminds me of the old highlights magazine games I would play as a child. While I'm not sure exactly what is happening in this mural or the meaning of it I do enjoy it. It's massive and fun. Also it is right across the street from another cool mural that features the plant from the movie little shop of horrors saying "feed me more". So a pretty cool area to check out for public art lovers.

This was actually part of an exhibit of the two's work that went by the same name as the mural. I like the color used in the mural it is like high-def, a color explosion. I am normally not an abstract art kind of guy, but this one works for me. Construction in the area has really limited metered street parking to get a closer look of this mural. There is still some in a reasonable waking distance. I parked about a quarter mile away. There are also commercial garages and lots you can park in, but they are pretty pricy. You could easily pull into the alley that the mural is located, get out and take a closer look Anyway, as with most murals that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a very long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. You may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other murals in the area or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. I just did a mural tour. There are a ton within about a half mile of each other.
