Murals!
This document is inspired by conversations with Tom Knipe about Ithaca Murals curating murals in Collegetown over the next few months.
My initial thought was to collaborate with Travis Hyde Properties for a mural on one of their medium sized walls adjacent to the City of Ithaca garage on Dryden Rd. (see bottom of this document). But after making this document, my preference would be for Ithaca Murals to be funded to

A notes about section 1 - particularly for if any local Ithaca street artists were to come upon this document...
