- Ever-Changing Art + ‘Forgotten Cemetery"
Hey Friend,
We’ve got a good one for you today.
But first, welcome to the 339 readers who have joined the crew over the last 30 days 😄
In the latest episode of The Bienville Buzzz 🐝
We chatted with Lucy Gafford (a local art pro who also happens to be the director of the Mobile Arts Council!).
We brainstormed the idea of an ever-changing mural in downtown Mobile (similar to the cannon in Midtown, except no permits needed).
Maybe we can move this idea forward… 😏
Ok, here's what you can expect in today's Rundown...

🪅Do Some Good
Box of Balloons is a non-profit organization on a mission to make each birthday happy and every child celebrated. Every child deserves to feel special, be celebrated, and have a memorable party. Unfortunately, that is not possible for many families. In America, 18% of children live below the poverty level. We believe that a birthday celebration can give families the joy and hope they may be missing. Please see the Amazon Wish List for items needed to help make it possible for every child to celebrate their birthday!

Baby Blue - Wags and Whiskers
From Wags and Whiskers:
“Meet Baby Blue! This sweet girl was found abandoned and taken in by one of our volunteers. She’s a gorgeous blue bully mix. She’s around 10 weeks and 10 lbs. She’s spunky and sweet. Loves other animals and kids. Likes the water and cuddles with her people. She is utd, dewormed, and spayed! Our adoptions are NOT on a first come first serve basis and there is no fee to apply! We never state any animal is fully House-trained. New environments, situations, families, routines, etc. can lead to accidents even with the most well-trained animals.” Click HERE to fill out an application for this sweet girl.
