Riverside Rallies To Remedy Eyesore

The suburban community of riverside is known for being quaint and picturesque so an abandoned building hardly fits the image. But that's exactly what's become of the historic arcade building in downtown Riverside. A developer went bust due to the recession, forcing a foreclosure. Over the past year, the windows had to be patched up with boards as residents began complaining about such a sad site. While the bank awaits a buyer, the community has rallied to come up with an artistic fix - a series of murals on the building's 18 windows. Art students at Riverside Brookfield High School are teaming with local artists to get it done.
