mike-mccrink-120211redbankgreen came upon muralist Mike McCrink of Atlantic Highlands painting a snowscape on the side of the Investor Savings Bank on White Street in Red Bank last Friday, and, naturally, the conversation turned to the weather. “I hate snow,” said McCrink. “If it was totally up to me, I’d be somewhere in the Caribbean.” (Click to enlarge)
