RUSSELL, Ky. (AP) â Good things are happening in Russell.
Just ask Mayor Ron Simpson. He and the group Revitalize Russell are working to make the city more attractive, hoping a sort of makeover will help bring businesses â and tourists â to the downtown area.
One project completed: A âWelcome to Russellâ mural by Ashland artist Elias Reynolds.
âTracy Frye commissioned me to make a painting of Russell encompassing various landmarks for her law office in Russell,â Reynolds said. âThe Russell City Council liked it so much they decided they wanted a mural of it. I added the âWelcome to Russellâ for the mural.â
