BID wanted a mural painted on a low, 100-foot-long concrete wall along Third Street downtown, and the Mungers came up with the idea of a series of ceramic tile murals.

They started two years ago, and with the help of various donors, they recently completed the 25th, with 25 more to go. Each mural features a unique Del Norte scene and title.
