Arts District Boston is raising funds to redo a decaying wall at the tennis and basketball courts at Ringer Park in Boston with a mural by local artist Jill Rosati. If the group raises $2,000, Allston Village Main Streets will kick in the remaining $2,000 needed for the project.

Why would people want to know
Why would people want to know about a murder that happened 40 years ago? Is it in any way salient to the story? Or does this story just not satisfy your bloodlust?

Magoo will paint a Magoo-mural for $500. Magoo.

This eclipses nature.
I guess it depends on the
I guess it depends on the population around there. Are there a lot of children who use the park? If not I'd want the Forest Green as well.
It's a paved basketball court
