Atmore Dedicates New Mural
August 10, 2018
A new “Discover Atmore” mural was dedicate Friday evening in Atmore.
The 12-foot by 30-foot mural was painted on the north side of the Atmore Area Chamber of Commerce on Ridgely Street at North Main Street. It highlights local scenes inside each of the giant letters.
The mural was painted by Patti Gillespie of Niceville. Her work includes a giant Pensacola-postcard mural in downtown Pensacola.

Sometimes it takes one step at a time. As we strive to become better, it is often baby steps, giant steps, or leaps and bounds. It takes EVERYONE working together to make things better. It may not be something those of my generation experience, however it is my belief those who come behind us will see the fruits of our work. Isn’t that what our forefathers did for us? I see positive things happening in Atmore. I’m excited, I don’t always agree with all of things changing, but I look at what will benefit the people (not me)! I’m ATMORE PROUD of our community!
Atmore has always been low income and high unemployment. Until we get these fixed nothing will change.
Murals, art walks, water play areas, tourist centers will never turn Atmore into Fairhope. The Indians and gambling are not helping they are only making the two main problems worse………Low Income and High Unemployment.
Lets stop putting a band aids over the large nasty wound and start trying to treat it.
But that’s for smarter people than me………..I’m just a griping, do nothing citizen……..and that’s the third problem.
At least were not Century!!!!!!
Beautiful artwork.
