Geronimo Mural Completed!

"It amazes me what we can achieve if we work together for our community. The Valley View/Crest Hill Heights Neighborhood Assn had the vision to improve the Geronimo mural and challenged the city to get it done. Through a public process, the @elpasomcad selected @mitsu_overstreet to redo the mural. Today, we honored Mitsu and his team of artists who brought this wonderful artwork that truly embodies the spirit of our ancestors, landscape, nature and our community. We brought lunch and a beautiful plaque to commemorate this moment before the artwork was completed. Thank you @mitsu_overstreet & team!"
