Giant THANK YOU to Kent Community Foundation for your support on the Past, Present and Future mural. It looks amazing! You may recall it was originally located adjacent to the Kherson Park on the old Oddfellows Building but had to be removed for building maintenance. We loved it so much we relocated it! You can see it outside the Public Halal Market at 225 W. Meeker Street.
