Mural taking shape in downtown KankakeeÂ

Muralist Peter Pagast, of Bradley, is painting sections of a new mural at 135 N. Schuyler Ave. in downtown Kankakee. Designed by Kankakee’s Dave Baron, the mural is called The Hub and is part of the Kankakee Development Corporation’s mural series. This is the first of four planned murals.

"It looks like a record, but it’s actually a map of Kankakee County," Baron said. "You have to look kinda deep, but the changes in color actually are the roads and the blue that cuts across are the Iroquois and Kankakee rivers."
