City officials are considering ways to control graffiti tagging, and they have a unique way to do it. Last weekend a new mural at Crook Park was dedicated. The mural by artist Mateo Jaimes (high-mus) is titled Currents. It highlights the spring-fed river and the many species found there. The mural design leaves very little open space on the wall in hopes that it will stop the graffiti. Other murals are in the works. One is already in place on South L-B-J Drive. It's called Alice in Wonderland. Now the city plans to put up yet another mural on a wall along a drainage ditch on Sessom Drive.
