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.
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.
If you enjoy murals from around the world, please don't forget to visit Monday Murals at Sami's Colourful World.

Now you have a project to figure out what the rest of these are-smile. Nice mural this week. Hope you had a nice Sunday. hugs-Erika
Clever, fun mural!
I wonder about the clothes hanger!
Lots of whimsy on that map.
fun mural!
I'm not that impressed. But I do find it interesting what you say about it
Your town is full of interesting maps that are totally about the local scene, including the city flag, which is neat.

Interesting map mural with the local highlights. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Elizabeth.
I'll admit, when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a VW van!! LOL
I really like this map.
108 murals! Wow!
Interesting mural.
That's a fun and attractive map.
It looks nice on a wall. I'm sure it would look great on a fridge magnet, too.
Have a great rest of the week, you two! :)
What a fun map! Hugs, Chrisx
