next to the cleveland post card mural on chatham

Kyle Holbrook. "Peace" Stop Gun Violence. 2021. Cleveland.

Finally saw this. I read a story from WEWS5, "mural is located at the corner of West 25th Street and Gehring Avenue." Typical, and frequent journalism error.

This is more accurate of the location. I do not miss construction.
There were street signs on a utility pole two steps away, and on the first house beyond the the utility pole. The reason for the snark is, that, i went two days trying to find it. I was a car passenger, and could only see the fenced in construction site.
I was thinking, why was it not next to the Cleveland post card mural on Chatham? That spot usually has vehicles parked by it, and to-day there were three electrical line trucks with man lifts there. The paintings were only visible while walking, or standing, on the sidewalk.

Holbrook is a painter from Pittsburgh. He has been painting messages, around the country, to stop gun violence.
