Ashland Murals - Honoring Aviation

The following post is part of a series of murals we viewed in August of 2014 in Ashland, Wisconsin.

On the back side of the 300 block of West Main is the Aviation Mural.  Don't the stones look real?


I couldn't find any information about the history of aviation in the area online, but they do still have a small airport a few miles south of town.  Just as cool as the plane are the cars, though I could do without the dumpster!


So when I went to the Verizon store last week and they upgraded me to 3 GB per month I gave it a test run while in Sheboygan.  I probably spent about an hour on the laptop prepping my blog post and checking my email and used about 1 GB of data.  Yikes!  That would be 30 GB for a month at that rate.  So, while I might use the hot-spot occasionally I ended up sitting in the McDonald's parking lot on our last night there for an hour to use theirs for free.

Linking up to Monday Mural.

  1. That is a GREAT mural. I like scenes from that time period. And yes, I'd not thought otherwise about the stones had you not drew my attention to them.
