FYI, the total cost was $6,500.00, of which I paid half.  Besides his art effort and work, he has to pay for insurance, the lift, bagging the meters etc etc.  The work is looking better than I thought it would..... and he is only just beginning.  I'll have to admit that in the beginning, I had feelings that I would rather spend the money on construction "things", but now I'm seeing that the art is a better way to spend the money... and it will last a long time.


Does that mean that you aren't going to build the apartments above the bookstore? I really hope they're part of the plan. We can't let anymore chances to build residental units Downtown slip by.

Actually the apartments will be in the next building, above the Gus' Shoe location.  There will be three apartments on each of the two upper floors, ranging is size from the 400's to the 900's in square footage.

Oh that's good to hear, I was a bit nervous for a minute.

looking forward to seeing the finished product.  Palatka has some wonderful wall art.  I had hoped to see Jacksonville do it.  Thanks
Ron Chamblin and Shaun Thuston!!!!
