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.
This mural is supposed to be an Illustrated Map of Wichita, Kansas (USA). I recognize a few landmarks like the trolley that is free to ride on the weekends, the chicken that sits atop the Donut Whole, the coffee cup signified by either Reverie or The Spice Merchant, the Crown Uptown which is a dinner theater, and Watermark Books. I'm not sure about the rest, but they are all in the Douglas Design District.
The artist is Olivia Grant and I like how she signed her work. 
This is
one of the 108 original Avenue Arts Days murals. Thankfully, I still have a few I
haven't seen even though there are no new ones scheduled to be made, at
least not for Avenue Arts.
If you live in or are familiar with Wichita, Kansas, you know that Douglas is an east/west street and both Washington and Oliver are north/south streets. I rotated the map so it is now technically correct. If you look, this is where the original 108 colorful murals throughout a three-mile stretch of Douglas Ave. from Washington to Oliver can be found.
This mural, named Wichita Illustrated Map, is located at 2525 East Douglas, Wichita, Kansas (USA).If you enjoy murals from around the world, please don't forget to visit Monday Murals at Sami's Colourful World.
Fabulous and always interesting viewing here xx
