The IGA canning jars mural

Looming over the Post Office, on the back of the former IGA grocery store,  we who live here almost forget it's there but if it ever leaves we'll mourn its passing. The mural was determined by a contest with many designs presented. The winner was Rick Cronin a Belfast resident, accomplished artist, merchant marine, feared fisherman, and pretty good poker player. In 2009 the current status is the walls need repair and the mural must either be preserved or a new one painted in its place. Time will tell. The murals in each jar depict various settings in Belfast: parades, chickens, Perry's Nut House and more.
