In addition to this new mural, Callejo has painted local murals at the Murray Ryan Visitors Center and at the southwest corner of Theodore and Richard Streets in the Chihuahua Hill neighborhood. The newest mural is located on the south side of the Encore building at 704 North Bullard and faces the future parklet and pedestrian entrance into the Main Street Plaza.

October is Fire Prevention and Safety Month. An important tip is to know the difference between the sounds your household smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make. On the smoke alarms, a continued set of three loud beeps means smoke or fire is present, and that you should call 9-1-1 and stay out of the building. A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and has been replaced. Regarding a carbon monoxide set of four loud beeps means that carbon monoxide is present and that you should go outside, call 9-1-1 and stay out. A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means that the battery is low and needs to be replaced.
