They painted on the 3 Mural with their names signed. The kiddos were wonderful and a gift for me to see how at a very young age like I was to be encouraged to paint something wonderful
I reminded the children they can show their grandchildren the famous painting they did with Ms. Susan.

Susan's first pencil Mural next to Winter Street Cafe was the old Corner Luncheonette. After just two weeks Decker finishing a 13 by 4 pencil sketch mural that incorporates elements of both the old and new Newburyport.
"The people coming in here are having a blast with this" says Decker. "I am amazed to see the conversation going on around this mural". "Personally I love support
In fact. Decker has been relying on patrons to draw on their memories for the details to help keep the mural historically accurate. The Websters knew they wanted a pencil sketch mural that paid tribute to Newburyport.

Enoch Flanders, the last town crier, local grocer and character Albert Tilton and his continental carriage, a Boston and Maine train heading to Boston, circa 1864, and naturally, the Corner Store and Luncheonette
