Unity Mural, Video, Party Proposed

Two filmmakers, a musician and an artist plan to collaborate this month in engaging city residents in a unity-building project.

Plans call for Sofia Maldonado to create a mural with the help of local young people. A block party at West Third Street and Muhlenberg Place will be held on Aug. 27 at which the community can see the mural and take part in a music video featuring Plainfielder Kelly "KVO" Jordan's single, "I Stay Fly." Mobius Films partners GianCarlo Fernandez and Salvatore Pesce will make a documentary of the project, which is meant to be "something positive" in light of recent gang violence.

The project is up for consideration at Monday's agenda session, 7:30 p.m. in City Hall Library.

  1. As a 60 year+ resident of West Third Street down the street from that proposed area, the question is. . . Where they gonna park as this type of event will draw people from far and wide. Why a mural in such a remote area as Muhlenburg and Third and not some where more readily accesible to the community. Already we have many "cones" designating parking as it is limited for the people living in the area, and now, planning for a MAJOR event. Putting on my gear and starting the rain dance now. . .
