Yesterday took me to a meeting in Canal Winchester, Ohio. I took a moment to swing into a parking lot for a closer look at this mural in their Old Town District.
It’s called “Brave Little Brave” and was created by Crystal Salyer. It was installed by the Canal Winchester Art Guild in 2018.
From this vantage point I noticed something down an adjacent alley. Check out this great vintage Tru-Test paint ad!

It was a great surprise and a fun end to the day. Canal has a number of nice murals but it’s the off the beaten path and unexpected stuff I like best!
Well, sometimes the unexpected is the most memorable and fun! …
I have found some of the best stuff in alleys. Lol. Weird but true!
There’s something to be said for having a sense of discovery. Out of the way places and perhaps seeing something unique are always worth the effort! …
This is so true! I have found that an open mind and a desire to find something special have served me well. Other people might not be excited about a vintage advertisement or architectural element of an old building but these things always excite me. Nothing makes me happier than these kinds of discoveries!
I’m sure that you’ll always find ways to live each day to the fullest! A sure recipe for a rich and rewarding life! …
I hope so!
