The new Fairview mural, which is catching eyes at the U.S. Highways 36 and 75 crossroads, is “beautiful,” but not what was requested by the Fairview City Council. The artist, Christy Klein-Tross, is a Fairview native and started painting the mural at the beginning of September. However, as Klein-Tross continued painting, some Fairview City Council members started to realize that it wasn’t what they had exactly requested Klein-Tross to paint. While the bottom portion of the mural is the only thing that can be seen by those passing by, the top portion of the sign, which says “FAIRVIEW,” also has been completed. However, it still has not been put up. The Fairview City Council met for their regular meeting on Thursday, Oct. 3, which is the first time they have met since the mural has been completed. During the meeting, guests present voiced their opinions on the mural not “representing Fairview,” or the mural was “degrading” to what is on the back of the sign, which is the Fairview Veterans Memorial.
