Gwyneth points out that the unattractive signal boxes around Decatur are looking a lot more spiffy recently. And she provided this lovely photo!
The Decatur Arts Alliance’s Angie Macon tells us that thanks go out to Larry Holland and his team of artists for making downtown Decatur a little less boring.
If you come across other revitalized signal boxes around Decatur, please send in photos!
So cool! Thanks Larry!

How nice! I always enjoyed the Pete The Cat one outside Java Monkey and was super bummed when they undid it.
Ditto. I really like this newly done one!
This upbeat décor is a nice antidote to the booting ambience.
Maybe the boots could be commissioned to be painted more creatively …
Ooh! They could paint them gold and put a big plastic diamond on them to make them look like engagement rings for your car. So instead of being annoyed about getting booted, you can be excited that your car met someone special.
Nobody wants to booted, but who wouldn’t want their car to get engaged?
Of course… it ends up being an abusive relationship and you have to give the groom half your stuff to free your car from his control…
Love these- thank you Decatur Arts Alliance and Larry Holland & team!
Not art. Move along. Thanks, Obama. And Larry.
How about “craft”?
I must be dense. Scratching my head over this comment.
It’s a reference to a couple years ago (maybe longer?) where there was “discussion” about what constitutes art. I think it may have started when the big murals were painted on some walls downtown. So every time a post like this goes up, someone has to resurrect the “is it art?” meme.

Aye matey…
Hee-hee-hee! We were such idealistic, yet sardonic, little scamps back then. 😀
Please put the boxes in my front yard on your “to do” list.
I think we could do that,….
Public Art
..the antidote to negative energy.
If I could find a way to manipulate the button for more Likes on this, I would.
Thanks everybody,excited about this project.The box in the photo was painted by Gerry Gorman
From now on I will only be using the crosswalks in more family friendly intersections. Please stop glorifying art.
Please elaborate, I must know more.
