This is a good one for all you mural lovers. I went to Liberal, Kansas and painted a mural of the future of the town based on what the residents told me they wanted to see.

You can the episodes above or go to the links below:
Episode 2 – Bishop, California: Marc Horowitz visits a nursing home in eastern California—the second stop on his cross-country mission to improve America. He inspires a roomful of elderly people with his energy crystals, fanny pack, and shiny gold spandex, then helps each person unleash his or her inner “power animal.”

Episode 3 – Battle Mountain, Nevada: Marc descends upon Battle Mountain, a tough and isolated mining community, and encourages the local elders to change the name of their town to something a little cuddlier.

Episode 4 – Nampa, Idaho: Marc Horowitz encourages the buttoned-down residents of Nampa, Idaho to semi-express themselves by donning ski masks and taking off a few items of clothing. The result is the city’s first “anonymous semi-nudist colony.”

And the Premier episode – Los Angeles, California: Marc scavenges around Los Angeles for free items to sell at his very own yard sale, picking up everything from pre-cooked pasta to an empty bottle of lotion. Then he makes a surprise visit to his favorite taco truck. Mission accomplished — on with the cross-country tour!
