We're thrilled that the mural, Time Travelers, by Sandy Kessler-Kaminski and Edith Abeyta (and many community volunteers as well) is complete at the Elizabeth Street Park. This project has been ongoing for many years. Next time you're in Hazelwood, be sure to stop by the newly completed park (complete with a matching path linking the two crosswalks, thanks to Dan from DOMI).
