A Downtown Dover Mural Attracts Daisy's Attention


Since you've read countless posts about Daisy's walks in downtown Dover you may wonder what historical sites we see along the way so I thought I would post this charming mural (it helps that I'm passionate about murals and art, by the way) that we walk by almost daily. 


 This downtown mural is on the corner of First Street and Central Avenue, a main thoroughfare of the city, that echoes back to simpler days of long ago that I appreciate so much.


I'm not sure if it's a coincidence that the artists painted a number of musicians to coincide with the popular music store, Earcraft Music, that is on the corner of the two streets or not but even if it isn't it's always nice to be reminded of the powerful influence of music.


It's fun to think of store fronts looking like this and


that children dressed in a modest style.


It is also a pleasure to think that the horse and buggy was a mode of transportation rather than the hustle and bustle of cars and motorcycles.


It is unfortunate that the general store was not preserved because it would be interesting to browse around!


To think of a time when entertainment was at a minimal cost is amazing, isn't it? 


Daisy and I are so proud that this colorful mural brightens First Street in downtown Dover!
