Alley Katz Defeats Graffiti, 34th & Cedar Mural Postponed
The mural project at 34th & Cedar was postponed until spring due to weather, but a few blocks south, 40 people transformed a vandalized garage into a work of art. Corcoran resident and Alley Katz co-founder Stacy Husebo says the mural and landscaping project was a great alternative to anger, the usual response to graffiti. Stacy and friend Roxanne Stuhr hope it will be the first installation of many. Contact alleykatz_mpls@yahoo.com.
