Former mayor Allison Silberberg, Imagine Artwear owner Carol Supplee, KSMET founder Nina Tisara, artist Len Garon, and Council members Amy Jackson and Del Pepper celebrate the Dec. 4 dedication of the KSMET mural at the corner of King and Fayette streets.
Long before the trendy boutiques and celebrity chef restaurants came to town, upper King Street was lined with used car dealers and empty storefronts and considered by many a sketchy part of the city.
