Abilene celebrates new mural honoring area history
For Abilene's future, the writing's on the wall . Or in this case, the paint. The Key City welcomed its latest mural July 3 with a ribbon cutting and free Cokes. Presented on the north-facing wall on a warehouse located at 113 Cherry St., the 100-foot-long western scene rises 25 feet to the building's roof. Artist Caleb Crisp was contracted by Texas Monthly Studio on behalf of Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages to paint the mural to celebrate the 250th birthday of the nation and to honor Texas towns.
