Nature Mural at Dixie Crossroads Restaurant
in Titusville, Florida

Our original 150 foot mural depicted the variety of ecosystems, many of the thousands of species of animals and plants, and seashore recreational activities found in the Titusville, Florida area. Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Canaveral National Seashore are widely acclaimed ecotourist destinations. Nature based tourism supports preserving these lands for future generations. Natural areas are self-regenerating and will continue to grow year after year. Once lost, however, these habitats are lost forever.
The Thompsons of Dixie Crossroads Seafood Restaurant invite you to enjoy the murals when you come to dine on the world's finest Rock Shrimp, fresh Cape Canaveral seafood and succulent steaks. While there, ask about the best ways to get outdoors and enjoy our wildlife firsthand.





		Al Rao applies final touches to a section of his mural that covers much of the outside of Dixie Crossroads Restaurant. The New York City born artist was TV's "World's Fastest Artist" in the late 1950's. The photographs were taken by Johnnie D. Ainsley, editor of the "Indian River Lagoon UPDATE." Many of them first appeared there. Click on the pictures to bring up an enlargement. Use the BACK button of your Browser to return.
