I took some pictures- can’t email them from work but they are on my twitter here: https://twitter.com/emma_sandoe/status/236243015516188672 It’s a really clever pun!

You really need to show the finished product. One of the characters looks like Bevis (or Butthead – not sure who’s who). It is funny the first time, but so sorry for the immediate neighbors.

Want some trivia? The guy who bought the house we live in new — in 1924 — ran that store until he died in the early 60s. German immigrant. The house is in the 3800 block of 13th.

More info about the mural organization, and picture of the mural design (which is identical to the final mural), here:

Personally, I like it, it’s fun and a bit quirky, I think it adds to the neighborhood and certainly improved that corner. That corner, by the way, is due for another big improvement as the long-vacant (at least ten years) tan house across the street will be torn down and replaced with a substantially larger condo/apartment building in the fall.

Now, if only the folks at Park Road and 13th would sell some items that are, errr, more reflective of the changes in the neighborhood. If they stocked a few higher food and beverage items that you can’t find in the Giant, they could make a lot more money.

I’ve seen the final product and wow, it does not look good.
