Art students update Pennsylvania Post Office mural

Mural designer and art student Ryan Lam­mie approached Post­master Jerry Kennedy with the concept for the new mural — depicting the history of Pittsburgh from steel town to sub­urb. “I told him, ‘I can’t see how you’ll be able to get that on the wall,’” Kennedy quipped. “But the students worked all Memorial Day weekend and there it is. It’s beautiful.”

Pennsylvania State Representative Mike Turzai thanked the artisans for their public spirit. “I can’t think of a better combination than our students and our soldiers coming together to honor our community and our country,” Turzai said. “And, there is no better place to do this than at our Post Office, whose employees serve us all so brilliantly every day.”
