    Anyone know about the beach paintings on the fences in front of Lowman beach, where they are getting ready to do the sewer plant? I would like to know the artist (s). Would be interested in some paintings.

    How cute are they!!! I was sitting on the rocks down by Anchor Park a few days ago when two otters walked passed me, paused… gave me a head nod motion and jumped in the water…LOL About fell in myself from laughing so hard… They are so comical.
