Blue Jays crossing Carrollton Avenue walk by a utility box that recently received a face-lift fitting for its location. The utility box, located at the intersection of Carrollton Avenue and Banks Street, is now adorned with a mural of stately oaks and lively blue jays painted by the artist Karel Sloan Bookbinder. The art is part of the New Orleans Street Gallery, a project of Community Visions Unlimited. CVU is a nonprofit dedicated to revitalizing New Orleans neighborhoods through community beautification and business development. CVU hopes to have each of the 400 utility boxes in the city of New Orleans painted within the next two years.
