CRUSHING IT

Carolina Beach’s commercial buildings have been getting colorful facelifts on the outside. A townwide mural initiative, dubbed the Carolina Beach Mural Project, has brightened the sides of several structures in recent months with artists’ interpretations of beach life. Jason Parker’s “Carolina Dreamin” graces the side of Crush and Grind at 7 Harper Ave., just steps away from the touristattracting boardwalk. And more murals are on the way, said project founder and president Maureen Lewis.
