Duncannon Community Mural (PG LVIII)




This week is the Duncannon Community Mural. Duncannon, PA is located along the Susquehanna River's west side where Routes 11/15 and State Route 274 intersect. The mural is on the side of a house near the intersection of Cumberland Street and Market Street. The sign on the mural explains that it was painted by 620 community members between September 2003 and December 2004 and show images that uniquely represent Duncannon and Eastern Perry County. Sort of a Where's Waldo , there is the Skatelite skate park, covered bridges, fire departments, the Clark's Ferry and Rockville Bridges and the Statue of Liberty on the old bridge pier in the Susquehanna. Also you can see the infamous Duncannon Subway (if it rains hard the Subway is closed), Susquenita Schools and their sports, deer, turkey and hundreds of hand prints. And much, much more.
If any of you early (Late) birds are wondering, Blogger has a new service where I enter the date and time as I've always done and they don't post until that time. So if indeed you were one of those who checked in late to get an early look, set your alarms 'cause it will not post 'till midnight oh one.

For some reason before I even read your comments I thought this has to be in Perry county some place.
In few places are people so closely tied to their roots and proud of it and live close to a small city.
Thanks for showing what real everyday live is about through your photos.
