Jay Singh, owner and general manager of the Guest Lodge Gainesville, wanted a way to thank the city that’s given him so much. So Singh commissioned artist Rosie Falconi to paint a mural along one exterior wall of the hotel, located at 520 Queen City Parkway. The mural is an homage to all the best parts of Gainesville.
