The Buchanan Park Recreation Center became more vibrant last week. That’s because five middle school students under the direction of professional muralist Daniel Crosier painted a large mural on two walls inside the recreation center. Those walking into the building during spring break stopped to check out the mural painted in orange, red, blue, yellow and more with latex paint. It’s bright, imaginative and a definite change to the white walls that SEE MURAL, P3
