Trout Mural by Ivan Roque

Where Are We In CLT?

by Porter Metzler on April 14, 2020



The next time you take a trip to Trader Joe’s at the Metropolitan to replenish your quarantine snacks (yes Cookie Butter Sandwich Cookies and Joe Joe’s ARE essential) take a moment to enjoy this magnificent mural by artist Ivan Roque.

“The brown trout and the iris are two native species of flora and fauna here in North Carolina. Both of them being a symbol to community and prosperity a trait that I’ve noticed in all of Charlotte,” said Ivan in an Instagram post after completing the mural back in October during the 2019 Talking Walls Festival.

Speaking of trout, we should add some fish to the shopping list. Three weeks of only eating cookies is probably enough…
