They have been working with communities since 2014 to create their iconic modern-day postcard landmarks across the United States. This is their second postcard mural in the state of Georgia, but the first official "interactive" postcard mural in the state which was made possible by Gooch & Fifty. This mural is dedicated to the memory of Jack Lance, Glenn Gooch, Ethelene Dyer Jones, and the proud citizens of Union County, Georgia
