About. Two leopards roar at each other across a patchwork of muted color at 914 Main Street.
History. By Eastside Murals — childhood friends Ian Lawrence and Sterling Goller-Brown, who came up as graffiti writers and still paint everything in spray. They’re among Nashville’s most prolific mural teams, with walls across the city, Chattanooga and Knoxville; the leopards are their east-side calling card.
