New postcard mural downtown Bend OR. It's actually part of a national mural project where you can "collect" murals throughout the country for free gifts, etc. Just ask those visiting to support a local small business!

The public mural is located at
450 NW Franklin Ave. on the Chase building. There's a bunch of hidden elements that you can only see in person so worth a visit!

You can find more info. about the mural here (also timelapse, photos, etc.):
