Mural approved for Lower Columbia Bowl

Mar. 22—The Astoria Historic Landmarks Commission on Tuesday approved a request by an Astoria High School student to paint a mural on Lower Columbia Bowl.

Kyrstin Connell chose to take on the mural for her senior project.

The mural will depict the road into Astoria via the New Youngs Bay Bridge, with the Astoria Bridge and the Astoria Column in the background.

The project needed approval from the Historic Landmarks Commission since the bowling alley is in the National Register of Historic Places district downtown.
