Tunnelvision This mural was amazing. It is located right behind the World's Largest Fire Hydrant, which doubled my excitement. It was so beautiful from a distance. There is a sunset in the mural, and the sun actually GLOWED. We visited it at night, so the sun was really shining. I have heard rumors that birds actually fly into the mural often, and I can believe it. It is very realistic looking.

Tunnelvision The tunnel mural on the wall of the Federal Land Bank Building is very realistic. The bullet holes in the Yield sign and the rusty boltheads in the Yield sign and the One Way sign are nice touches.

Tunnelvision A photo realist mural painted by artist Blue Sky on the wall of the Federal Land Bank Building. It is really neat to see and it is lit up at night. TOO BAD this is not a cartoon scene, because you can't drive through the tunnel! BEEP BEEP!
