A work of art some label as truly amazing now radiates as a mural on a building bordering Pearl Street. Hispanic artist Gilberto Rodriguez, at the commissioned request of property owner Craig Aleman, honored Seaford’s history, its Latin American communities and pandemic bravery in his creation.
- I absolutely loved watching this beautiful mural evolve. I would drive by and would often see Gilberto up on the ladder, painting. The finished product is truly magnificent! — Susan Lamb
Price of gas heating to surge in Delaware ahead of winter
