A Legacy of Ownership and Innovation

<p>Front street is the local 'hot spot' in Arlington, Texas with plenty of places to eat, hang out, and enjoy a great evening in the Central Texas culture. This mural, created by local artist Jenny Lane, is painted on a building at the northeast corner of E. Front Street and N. Mesquite Street. It features glimpses into Arlington's local ties within each letter:<br />
<b>F</b> - the infamous Nolan Ryan vs. Robin Ventura fight that took place on August 4, 1993 during a MLB game between the Chicago White Sox and the Texas Rangers <i>(my personal favorite letter)</i><br />
<b>R</b> - Arlington's history is based on the arrival of the transcontinental railroad in 1876<br />
<b>O</b> - one of the roller coasters found at Six Flags Over Texas<br />
<b>N</b> - the world famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders<br />
<b>T</b> - a local brewery that unfortunately closed in 2022 but that was thriving at the time of the mural creation<br />
