Victory Lane

Here's a photo I took two years ago of an alley in downtown Jackson called Victory Lane.

Since I took this photo the building's become The Lofts of Jackson. As part of the Lofts project the murals were removed so they could punch windows in the walls.

Last month Jackson's Bright Walls effort put new murals on this wall. Simultaneously the city renamed the alley; it's now the Emma Nichols Garden, after a fugitive slave who lived a long life in the city. The landscaping has also been reworked since I took this photo.

I'll show you the alley's new look tomorrow, and will follow with closer looks at the new murals.
