Impressionist paintings. Downtown Clayton’s painted utility boxes make boring necessities of life into public art. This week on Patch Picks, we show off the city’s sense of fun.
- Meramec - Ralph Clayton watches over the city that bears his name from the corner of Meramec Avenue and Forsyth Boulevard.
- Forsyth - Only blocks from Ralph Clayton, a portrait of Robert Forsyth observes traffic on the street that bears his name.
- Central - Everyone wants to be awarded the key to the city until they discover the lock is safely buried inside a utility box.
- Bonhomme - This warm celebration of music lies within sight of Shaw Park Ice Rink.
- Brentwood - A pastoral scene of grazing cattle in the midst of a busy urban neighborhood reminds people what the area might have been like 200 years ago.
