We are beyond excited to share our first community mural with yinz!

Thanks to the McKees Rocks Community Development Corporation, T.T.’s Toybox and Sara Eve were able to collaborate on a community art project. The 33 ft wall serves as the entrance to their Rec N Tec program. previously, the entrance was painted solid white. It used to serve as a neighborhood bar.

Owner and operator, Natika had a brilliant idea to decorate the entrance way to The Rec N Tec, welcoming local children to the center as well as adding color and energy to the roadside. The design shows The Rec N Tec logo, happy kids jumping on a trampoline along with colorful flowers and pollinators bussing around.

Sara Eve not only tattoos at PMA Tattoo, but also volunteers and runs the Sto-Rox Afterschool Mural Club. Painting murals around the community is one of the ways Sara Eve raises funds for the mural club. A big thank you to T.T.’s Toybox for supporting the Sto-Rox Mural Club.

The mural has transformed the entryway, making this entrance truly feel vibrant and playful. It is our hope that all the local kiddos enjoy this generous gift and are so grateful to have been a part of it all. 

Feel free to check it out yourself at 704 Thompson Avenue @ T.T.’s Rec N Tec across from Black Forge Coffee shop’s rear parking lot.
