For years, there have been big steel columns at some of the intersections along Jerome Avenue near Mosholu Parkway.

Most people walk right by the strange structures.

But the Jerome-Gun Hill Business Improvement District and NYC Councilmember Andrew Cohen see something with a little more artistic potential.

They've commissioned artist Lady K Fever to create murals on the posts.

She says the scenes will honor the Bronx.
