Additions to 'Welcome to Cullman' mural

Artist Bethany Kerr has made two additions to the "Welcome to Cullman" mural on U.S. 278 West: "Founded 1873" was added beneath the name "Col. John G. Cullman" and American and Alabama flags were added to the right of the mural under the Newman's Cleaners & Laundry sign. See more photos on her blog. (Click on photos to see larger.)

First Cullman mural complete (almost)

The first in a series of murals, "Welcome to Cullman," has been completed on the side of Newman's Cleaners & Laundry. Artist Bethany Kerr says she still needs to do some detail work on the oval, but the work is essentially finished. She was asked by the business' owner to repaint the sign to match the colors of the mural. (Photos courtesy of Bethany Kerr)
