What:
The former Filling Station on 4th street has been recently purchased by a longtime Barelas community activist and renamed the Casa Barelas. FOS has completed a full revitalization of this sign, including: a repair of the sign body and reader board, development and installation of community generated artwork for the upper oval, fixing the motor that rotates it, and installation of new low-draw LED lighting. Vintage lettering was purchased for a community generated message posted on the reader board.
