It's time once again to join Sami at Sami's Colourful World and her Monday Murals. Even though it's still Sunday in my world, please be aware
that Sami's mural link goes live at 11:01 a.m. my time today.
I thought I got a head on view of the "Breakfast and Lunch" window, but it appears I didn't. It also appears whoever created these was the same person using the same color scheme and a similar message.Once again, this mural is found in the 200 Block East William, Wichita, Kansas (USA).
An internet search shows this artist rendition of the buildings in question. Per the article:The Sutton Place building will be renovated into student housing to complement the Kansas Health Science Center - Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine (KHSC-KansasCom). The project adds additional housing options for students and is connected to the medical school via skywalk.
The KHSC-KansasCom project is the catalyst for the renovation of five historic buildings that will create a vibrant environment along the William Street corridor, directly south of Douglas Avenue.
This is what the building looked like in its heyday. Note the "black" area with the black awning in the left part of the photo. 
This is what it looked like before. This is where the fenced in area is now. Images from the internet courtesy of Commercial Edge. If you enjoy murals from around the world, please don't forget to visit Monday Murals at Sami's Colourful World.

I am sorry, but the pictures of the buildings totally steal the show! WOW.
thanks for squeezing in a trip to Kew, lol! re Chelsea Flower Show - too expensive for non members of the RHS (who organise it) are £100 or so, even so tickets sell very fast, and looking at the tv coverage it was over crowded. Have been once and it is hard to see the gardens well, due to the crowds. I
would rather watch on tv. The BBC have a tv show every day of the week during the show, so you get to see quite a lot.
I am with Iris - though the murals are colourful.
...buildings seem to need to go into decline before they can be revived. This looks like an interesting project.
That is a cool looking building. Hope they can bring back the awesomeness
this is all really intriguing -- I would love to see a view of the entire building as it is now, in decline. The original design looks great. Why did the building fall into disrepair?
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
That building looks so 1970's, but I do like that cross street walkway. It has a super retro feel. And what a difference between the mural area today and what it looked like in the past. I hope you show us the renovated building when it's done in the future. Have a great Sunday. hugs-Erika
Nice photos.
That is a cool building!
Can't figure out if that is supposed to say something or not. I have that trouble with a lot of graffiti--lol!
Isn't that sky walk awesome? I always love murals;)
AND
I also love lilacs. So, Love in a vase is purrfect.
Hope your arm/shoulder is healing, dear Elizabeth, and that you are enjoying your weekend.
Hugs
I like that skywalk, sadly the building is looking very rundown. Hopefully it will look great again after the renovation.
Colourful mural :) Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Elizabeth.
Such colourful murals!
I love that walkway!
What an interesting area! Love the bright colours of the murals, hugs, Chrisx
