As Troy Surf of Christopher reached high to apply paint to a doorway frame, fellow painter David Ore of Benton knelt down to do the same to the lower facade of The Buzz restaurant, located in the nearly century-old Hart and Cantrell building on the southwest portion of the Benton Public Square. The beautification work continues a recent trend of building and business owners sprucing things up around the always-busy downtown area. Photos by Ceasar Maragni
