October 16th Update and October 11th

Finally, more is happening. What it is, I am not sure because there is nothing they tell us to describe it. Maybe it will be flower beds OR benches OR a place to recycle??????? I don't know. I just know the area was once named Turtle Place by the local Chinook Indians and it was a meeting place as well as a place to trade things and fish in the nearby Columbia River. I can hardly wait to see what is going to be there.






October 11th Update
Well . . . now some of the markings are colored. . .

September 25th More than the mural!!!!!!!!!

I got the usual photos of what I thought was newly painted on the wall . . .




and then got a surprise when I looked at the pavement! They are planning out the area finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

September 12th update

This was the latest last week on Friday. I am enjoying the mural but I wish they would get started ont he rest of the parking lot which is to have some kind of water and resting places, sorta like a park.

September 9th Progress

September Progress

August 30, 2008

I knew this was an environment project so am not surprised to see these words painted on the building. Each time I visit it, it amazes me what they have added. I can hardly wait to see the whole mural.

Catching Up With Turtle Place Updates

This entry will aim to catch up with posting the progress of Turtle Place mural on the wall of a building in the old transit center parking lot which is to becoeme a meeting place again like it was originally intended long before Vancouver became an established city, in the days of Fort Vancouver. I have no idea what the finished mural will look like so mostly, this will be with little comment. The oldest posts will be at the bottom and don't forget, I started this story over on Turtle Place, my old blog.
The first photo will be the latest. (I will try to add updates rgularly now.)
