But never did. I looked at them closer today, and looks like they used masonry nails with washers. I posted a couple old photos I took on my site also: http://photo404.com/?p=50 I remember Mike B. wanted to put up his own parody of those The Drive posters too. But never did.

And we should consider projecting onto the silos before Hiram Walkers tears them down.

Does the Walkerville BIA have anything like that set up? RE: Elaine

I know that the DWBIA has a grant program for facade facelifts.

Does the Walkerville BIA have anything like that set up?

Chris and i have long thought that a really cool mural welcoming everyone to Walkerville would be a perfect addition to it. We do know the owner. The hard part is getting the money for such a thing - an expensive proposition - and one that we haven't had the time or energy to pursue. The Walkerville BIA is once again looking at ways to distinguish the entrances to Walkerville so perhaps this idea may come to reality. For stories on the peabody building and peabody bridge (this is the Walker Power building btw) go to our site: walkervilletimes.com and yes, we had thought about projecting movies on that wall too. another great idea!

Imagine if we only had money to buy some of these places that are going for so little money now, and turn them into amazing creative spaces. Not that it will happen with the Peabody though.
