'Boontonware' twist to Main Street mural steeped in nostalgia

Brooklyn artist Jenna Morello brought her colorful armada of paint cans last week to Boonton, commissioned to add another mural to Main Street, where several similar artworks have added color in recent years to the vibrant, arts-infused business corridor. Adding flourishes that suggest a large stained-glass window, Morello's "Welcome to Boonton" mural greets pedestrians and motorists at the bottom of the street, which climbs a steep hill into the heart of the historic town. "It's a project to help bring public art to Main Street," said Natalie Spingold, executive director of the nonprofit Boonton Main Street organization that promotes downtown business and events. "It's taken about a year and a half to find a location, and many artist submissions." Longtime residents will appreciate a familiar font on the sign reflecting the logo of Boontonware , a locally-manufactured line of 20th Century plastic dishware popular enough to have a place-setting preserved by the Smithsonian Institution. "The stained glass feel is a tribute to some of our historical homes in town that
