Here it is, in all its vibrant colors, our seventh mural to adorn the walls of buildings in Hot Springs, SD. This mural says "I am unique in Hot Springs, I am one-of-a-kind along with our other historical murals, our dedicated pioneer museum situated in a historic sandstone former school house, our world-famous Mammoth Site, Evans Plunge, the largest indoor natural spring mineral waters pool in the world, our numerous sandstone buildings, our VA domiciliary listed as a national treasure, our proximity to Wind Cave, the renowned Wild Horse Sanctuary, the notable Wounded Knee located on the nearby Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and not to forget that in Hot springs a river runs through it. Yes, this river, accompanied by the Freedom Trail walking path, flows through this town situated in a peaceful valley nestled among the southern Black Hills."
Now I will let you in on plans for the next mural. Mural number eight will be painted on the side of Bob's new shop, Wild West Wheels. Plans are in the works with the same artist who painted the bison. You can count on it being singular, to fit in with the total specialness of this gem of a town, a hidden treasure, with a quiet charm unmatched by any other towns of similar size.
The next time you see someone taking a photo in front of our town's bison mural, know that the picture taker is sharing the uniqueness of our town with others who may or may not visit, but who will, when they see the photo, realize that this is truly a rare, remarkable town.
