What’s being called Phase 1 of a downtown mural project wrapped up last week, as artists from near and far converged on downtown El Reno to turn drab alley walls into works of colorful art.
El Reno Mayor Matt White said the idea to bring the “mural mafia” to town developed from seeing artworks on walls in Oklahoma City and Miami, Okla.
Funding for the project came from the city, local sponsors and the Oklahoma Mural Syndicate.
Local artists combined with those from as far as Tulsa and Dallas to transform the alley walls into canvasses of creativity.
It would appear El Reno is getting serious about mowing.
On Tuesday evening the city council agreed to purchase several new and rebuilt mowers to be used on parks, at the airport, Lake El Reno and on city rights-of-way.
Assistant City Manager Kent Lagaly and Parks and Recreation Director Jeff Kouba compiled the information presented to the council.
The mowers and related equipment will, as Lagaly said, “help us do a better job” of mowing and maintaining the parks and recreation areas.
Some major upgrades are in the works for the Northwest Community Center.
El Reno Mayor Matt White offered this information while fielding questions during the El Reno Live program.
The 30-minute question and answer session between residents and the mayor can be viewed on the city’s Facebook page as well as on the Facebook page of the El Reno Tribune. It has been running weekly. White said it is a way to help keep the public better informed.

When the calendar rolled over into 2020, Master Patrolman David Garcia was looking forward to another spring and summer competing in his other passion besides law enforcement – powerlifting.
But when the United States fell victim to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and began shutting down sporting events, the eight-year veteran of the El Reno Police Department felt like a detective as he tried to piece together what to do next.
