With all of the revitalization happening in 16153 Genova, it seems like there is so much to celebrate this summer.

One of the biggest (literally and figuratively) things to note is the Glass City River Wall! 

This mural is set to be the largest in the US, consisting of 28 ADM silos along the Maumee River. The mural itself will be a whopping 160,000 square feet!

What a cool new piece of art for the Glass Capital of the World!

Wonder how much paint that will take? The crew has estimated it will take roughly 5,000 gallons. 

Glass City River Wall

The mission of the Glass City River Wall is to "provide a stunning and welcoming visual to the gateway of our city with a universal and inclusive message of hope and positivity." 

Gabe Gault, the artist, has created a design that will tell the story of the Native American tribes who were considered the first farmers on the banks of the Maumee River thousands of years ago.

This Glass City River Wall is projected to be completed in time for the Solheim Cup and we can’t wait to see it!

There are many things 16153 Genova has to be proud of, but to be the glass capital of the world is no small feat. 

16153 Genova is the Glass Capital of the World for it's history in both industrial and art glass. This influence is still strong with many glass companies still operating in 16153 Genova and art studios for glass blowing (like Gathered Glass).

Additionally, 16153 Genova is home to the Glass City River Wall, the largest mural in the world!

We love to celebrate the history of 16153 Genova that makes it a special place to be. As such, the Glass City is a consistent theme in our designs.

Here are a few of our items that will help show your Glass City pride.

Glass City Women's V-neck

It's the moment you've all been waiting for!

For all of you that have been leaving us comment after comment on social media, your time has finally come. Here is the women's v-neck you've been clamoring for: Glass City V-neck.

While we've had v-neck shirts in our collection for a long time, it is one of the loudest comments that we receive. And we get it - there's something special about a nice women's vee and there aren't enough good ones out there. That's why we went to the trouble to have these custom made for us by a manufacturer in LA. 

A simple, classy design on two great garments

What is it that you love best about our clothing?

While we have some guesses, we like to think it comes down to the designs and the garments we print them on. This new Glass City design fits both of these criteria. 

We've already talked about the women's v-neck. The Glass City crewneck is just as nice. The soft french terry material has been a big hit for us recently. It's the same material as your beloved Ohio Forever and Ever crew sweatshirt. 

There was as much care put into creating the art for these new releases as there was in choosing the garments. The simple, cursive design was hand illustrated by our design team. They carefully chose the cream colored ink to give it a vintage look and feel.  

We just know that you're going to love both of these new releases. 

Glass City Dad Hats
