Very large mural located on two building walls. The east mural is on the west side of the Choppers Hair Salon and the Rt. 66 Car Show Registration Bldg. The east mural is approximately 120 feet long.

The west mural is smaller, approximately 60 feet long.

There is plenty of parking nearby so you can get out of your car and stop to look at all the scenes. Southern Nazarene University is located across the street, just north of here.
