What a surprise to see the twin ports murals here. I’m Thomas Bogan and I painted the mural on Jerry’s Old Town Bar & Grill in Superior’s East End on Second Street in 1987 or thereabouts. Jerry Kruger (owner) had only one concern: How long will it last? I told him I could make it “last forever.” Of course he didn’t believe me — all paint fades away with exposure to the sun and elements. So I gave it three coats of clear Imron (commercial airliner paint) and to my knowledge it is there yet today.
Thanks for being a historian,
