Viva Cuba, a longtime beautification group for the Route 66 town of Cuba, Mo., best-known for its intricate murals, has refurbished its Web site.
The site can be viewed at cubamomurals.com.
According to a news release:
The site’s design showcases both the town’s artwork and history and offers a way to communicate with visitors and the media. This site allows Viva Cuba members a more “hands-on” means of controlling the site and keeping it current. Several new features make the site more informative and interactive.
* Signup for future email newsletters lets the group share information about its beautification projects and events in a timely manner.
* An events section highlights upcoming Viva Cuba projects.
* A blog link with a comment feature offers an inside look at Cuba’s history, art, and events.
* A comment feature makes the site more interactive and allows the group to hear from visitors.
* Video clips from KSDK’s “Show Me St. Louis” and KETC’s “Living St. Louis” TV shows provide viewers a glimpse of Cuba’s murals.
* Ozarks Mountaineer article takes a comprehensive look at Cuba’s murals and their influence on the town.
Viva Cuba hopes the Web site will let Route 66ers better plan their visits to the town, including foreign travelers.
