Mustangs are taking over Munster! 🐴

The Munster Education Foundation is back with a second wrapped utility box, and this one is just as stunning as the first. Mustang colors on full display, turning everyday infrastructure into community art.

If you haven't been paying attention to what's happening on our streets lately... it's time to start! Electrifying Munster: The Beauty and the Box campaign is making Munster a little more colorful, one box at a time. 🌈

A huge thank you to the Munster Education Foundation for their continued investment in this community- in our schools AND on our streets.

📍 Calumet Ave. & Lion's Club Drive

Hey Munster Mustangs, this one's for you! 🐴

The latest wrapped utility box is here, and it's decked out in Munster Mustang colors, a tribute to the pride and tradition of Munster schools.

School may be out for the summer, but the Munster Education Foundation never stops showing up for this community. Sponsoring this box is just the latest example of their commitment to making Munster a place students and families are proud to call home.

Keep your eyes open around town because these boxes are popping up everywhere, and each one tells a story about the people and organizations that make Munster great.

📍 Columbia Ave. & 35th Ave.

Utility boxes across Munster are getting a glow-up — and this one might just be our favorite so far!

Spot this beauty on the corner of Calumet Ave and Maple Leaf Blvd. Those iconic red and white candy stripes? Pure Indiana University. 🔴⚪

This box was sponsored by Jay Lieser, owner and developer of Maple Leaf Crossing — and a proud IU Hoosier through and through. But the IU connection runs deeper than school pride.

Jay is also the owner of BuffaLouie's restaurant in Bloomington, which became part of a truly special story. IU quarterbacks Fernando and Alberto Mendoza partnered with BuffaLouie's to create the Mendoza Bros. Burger — a Cuban-inspired smash burger — with a portion of every sale going to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in honor of their mother, who battles the disease. To date, the campaign has raised over $150,000 for MS research and patient support. That's the Hoosier spirit in action. ❤️

We're proud to have sponsors like Jay who bring not just great design to our streets, but great heart to our community. And we'll admit — a few of us on the MCF team are IU alumni ourselves, so seeing the candy stripes in Munster hits a little different. 😄

If you spot a wrapped utility box around town, tag us! There are more to come. 🎨
