Restored Coca-Cola mural brightens downtown ambience in Grand Forks
A faded piece of Grand Forks’ past now beams with new life above Pillsbury Park. Painters Chad Caya and Casey Opstad spent two weeks carefully restoring a hand-painted Coca-Cola mural on the historic Odd Fellows Block Apartments building. Their goal wasn’t perfection—it was authenticity, preserving the mural’s quirks and weathered charm. This project, supported by the Public Arts Commission and local partners, quietly reflects how thoughtful restoration can reconnect a community with its history, adding character and vibrancy to a small downtown space. Pamela Knudson with Grand Forks Herald has the full story.
