It pays homage to the railroad that was here in the Orlando and Winter Park area. A lot of people just simply do not think about the Orlando that was before the theme parks and the tourism. It is important that we know the history of our communities. It is within those footsteps of the past that led us to where we stand today. I am grateful that I came across this and so looked up the Dinky Line. It was a small railroad line that ran around this area and was about six miles that started in the late 1800's. I often wonder about how Orlando looked back then and more importantly, the challenges the people here endured living in a subtropic climate without air conditioning. Seeing this mural, made me think about it again and appreciate what these people went through that led to Orlando as a major city.

A fun and free activity in downtown historic Kissimmee is a self guided mural tour. The murals are…read morepart of The Time For Art is Now public art project funded by Osceola Arts in downtown Kissimmee. The projects mission is to revitalize the downtown area with colorful works of art. This work is different than the other murals in the downtown in that it is not brand new but instead Osceola Arts rehabilitated it. Located on the exterior walls of Lanier's Historic Market Place, this mural was created in early 2000 by artist Tom Copella. Tom began his art career by attending the Art Institute in Pittsburgh. Upon graduating, he moved around a lot finally settling in Kissimmee Florida where he painted numerous murals. Tom passed away unexpectedly in 2021. The large scene depicts a time gone by. It tells the story of a small town city filled with businesses, neighbors, friends, and their pets. Some of the figure are based on real historical people. Tom Copella painted himself and his wife carrying a bucket into the center of the mural. The mural was recently restored by local artist Juliana Davidson and her assistant Casey who have worked on numerous historical murals in the area. Murals are a great way to tell the history of an area. Over thirty years the paint faded on the Lanier mural. Cracks were repaired and paint was added to the figures. Julianna did an outstanding job bringing the mural back to life. I love the charm and exquisite detail, like the shadow of a bird as it flies up the building.
