Pascal & Van Buren site refreshed

The Van Buren/Pascal repainting day was held on June 9, 2007, and was a great gathering of neighbors and friends of the circle.

Painting a second coat of paint went much faster than the first time, and we used significantly less paint than before. Our day was threatened with a surrounding storm, which came less than an hour after we had finished painting. A great benefit of using traffic marking paint is that is dries very quickly and the mural was not compromised by the torrents of water which came. Unfortunately, our community circus was rained out, but we look forward to having it at National Night Out.
