"End of the Line," is the third and largest community-based project for Lisa and Carolyn. They began collaborating in 1992 with a commission for the Times Mural Project. They worked with five students from the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild's Arts Apprenticeship Training Program to create a twenty by thirty foot digital image printed on vinyl, "Literacy Windows," which is currently on view at the Goodwill bookstore on East Carson Street in Pittsburgh's Southside. The mural addresses the theme of literacy and involved community research and interviews on this topic. This project was reviewed by the New Art Examiner as well as by local publications and television stations. Lisa and Carolyn also co-authored an article about "Literacy Windows" titled A Public Computer Image in Pittsburgh: Literacy Windows for ART COM electronic journal published on the Internet.

In 1994, Lisa and Carolyn worked together again to create a billboard display, "It Makes My Bread Sweeter" for the urban revitalization project "Community+Art = Adopting Aliquippa." For this project, the artists researched Aliquippa history both in the library and through discussions with members of the community. They designed an image that celebrated the "unsung hero," Mario Ezzo, an ordinary citizen of Depression era Aliquippa who contributed unselfishly to improve his urban environment. This billboard was displayed both on Aliquippa's main street, Franklin Avenue, and on a side road across from the town church.
