Make Good Choices Mural, Centennial Trail

Even the octopus knows to make good choices, unlike my parking skills.

Lake Stevens. A place where even the buildings scream at you to 'MAKE GOOD CHOICES'. Because nothing says 'responsible living' like a giant blue octopus reminding you of your life decisions. I mean, who needs a life coach when you have street art? The mural is a burst of colors and creativity, a stark contrast to the overcast sky that seems to be in a perpetual state of 'meh'. And let's not forget the white car parked right in front of the masterpiece, as if saying, 'Hey, I make good choices, like parking here.' If you ever find yourself wandering around Hartford, do yourself a favor and swing by this mural. It's a short detour from the Centennial Trail, which is the highlight of the day unless you're really into existential street art. Just remember, every choice you make is being judged by a very colorful octopus.
