There is a new interactive blog where you can read the latest about the project, as well as leave your own comments. Here is the link: www.waverlymurals.blogspot.com
The painting is completed! Cruise on by and check it out! It looks great!

The HGTV make-over of the
Baltimore Mediation Center is complete!
On January 1st, 2008 HGTV announced the winners of it's "Change the World, Start at Home"
Initiative. There are 3 locations in our area that were made-over as a result of Baltimore being chosen! One is right here in Wavery: our very own
Community Mediation Program, and two are in neighboring Pen Lucy: the home of Ethel Gaither and the green space up Old York Rd. on the right, just before 36th Street. What an amazing gift this was to our community!
You can read mor about the project here: REBUILDING TOGETHER BALTIMORE. They have a nice slideshow, as well as links to press releases and to the other related sites.
Bob Hieronimus oversaw the painting rennovations to the mural and did some painting himself. He added a few new elements. Can you spot them?
The Mediation Center is continuing it's own project of developing a Peace Garden in the back of the property. When completed, it will be a peaceful retreat from the city where anyone can go to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
