I grew up in Essex in the 80s and 90s. I remember talking to the mural painter when he was working on the same mural shown here. We see my old school here Maplewood, the old Canadian Tire sign, Big V ,and more! My grandparents knew the pilot Mr. Billings too. I remember him flying as a kid. Best time of my life!

It is so cool to see people I grew up with. I love Essex. It is the best town ever.

Shout out to Essex people. Hope you're all well.
