Although the downtown of Mooresville took a hit from the spring 2020 tornado, things are looking…read moremuch better today as a new mural was added to the downtown area by local business Something More. The business hired a local artist, Kylin Brown (Plainfield) to paint a colorful mural of wings on the side of their business. The wings are feathery and painted in shades of aqua, sunset orange, and sunflower yellow. I am not sure if the artist simply painted something that was asked for by the business (visitors can stand in front of the wings for one of those "instagram moments",) or was left to her own imagination to create the wings. The mural has high visibility, especially with the bright colors as you approach the stop light at Indiana St and Main from the east. The mural, though nicely executed, does not offer much originality since there are other murals in the Indy Metro area by artists Jamie Locke & Megan Jefferson (along the Monon in Broad Ripple) and by Kelsey Montague (on the near south side near the Pacers' Fieldhouse) that are basically the same idea of painting a mural of two open wings that a person may stand in front of for an "instagram moment". Although Mooresville doesn't have a lot of public art, it is nice to see there is starting to be a collection of art downtown for visitors to check out while located within a short walking distance of small shops and restaurants.

The city of Mooresville added a second mural by local artist Kylin Brown to the growing collection…read moreof public art. The newest mural was added to the side of the M&A Automotive Repair in 2020. The mural is easily visible from Bridge Street just west of the local Lowe's but across the street. The mural features a bright yellow background to catch your eye. The main focus of the mural is a black highway with numerous old cars and trucks and features a M&A tow truck driving along. There is a "greeting card" welcoming visitors to Mooresville. There are some inset images that appear to be old polaroids that have been taped to the mural (but oversized probably several feet across.) The mural not only draws attention to the business and lets you know it is auto related. But with the bright colors, it clearly shows a bit of history for the city that the business has been part of for a long time. I like that the business hired a local artist (from Plainfield) to create the mural and thereby, supports the local arts. If I had a car, I would definitely check this place out since it is locally owned and supportive of the community. But this review is strictly for the artwork. I enjoy noticing all the details that the artist has placed within the mural. Review #3802

In other words, it will not be gobbled up by a national chain that requires you to purchase a specific seat (I hate that). The only changes I found this weekend seeing two movies in two days were the butter is now self serve and the refills were discontinued. Wonderful! I really did not want a bunch of drastic changes because I love this theater just the way it is. The old app doesn't work but a new one is coming. The new website is up and running. Plus current showtimes are posted on the windows. Matinee ticket prices are $8 plus our refreshments for two people was only $22.

I am a sucker for anything troops. This mural is on the west side of building that has been a…read moremarket for over 100 years. It is on the side of Jay's Market and was painted by the store's owner Jay Dhanjal in 2020. Dhanjal says the mural was inspired by his "military patrons, and as a way to show support to our troops & fallen soldiers." The mural depicts a large American flag with a US soldier praying next to it. If you look closely to the mural you can see some areas that have dried paint drippings. I do not know if the artist was in a rush or what. Anyway, this mural is on a business in a rural area so yes, there is tons of free parking available to get out and take a closer look. This is a short stop however. I was there less than 5 minutes. I would not necessarily make a special trip here to see the mural but I would check it out if it is on my way to somewhere else or as part of a bigger itinerary, which my be a little tough to put together in Mooresville, but it can be done.

Although it isn't as mammoth as the downtown Indy plazas, there is a respectable and honorable presentation of monuments to those who have served from the Mooresville area over the past 100+ years. A special section of the plaza is set aside for Mooresville native son Sammy Davis who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his service and heroism during the Viet Nam War. The plaza also features benches with the seals of the different branches of the armed services. Citizens who wish to contribute to the preservation of the plaza are able to purchase bricks that bear their names on the sides of the plaza. The site is used for Memorial Day observations. There is no parking along the road that runs along the plaza, but there is some parking on the school property for those who don't mind a short walk. Review #2003
