Thanks! Anyone can get the same shot (or likely better shot) just waling down the streets of San Francisco... there are loads of buildings with fantastic murals! Amazing artists... well, that is a bit redundant... its is San Francisco after all! LOL

Yep,,, that's the one! At the northwest corner of Broadway and Columbus Avenue, the gateway to North Beach! Bill Weber and Tony Klaas, the artists, are depicted in the lower left corner, although you can't really see them in my picture -- The main focus is on Benny Goodman playing the clarinet & Oscar Peterson on the bass. Telegraph Hill rises on the top right center & Italian fishing boats fill the lower right. A bit of SFO History all told on 3 Stories of Wall!

Man, that's so cool. I should've taken a walk over there when I was in SF a few months ago, but I didn't . However, I'm leaving tomorrow for SF and first thing Thursday morning, I'm walking there with camera in hand. Thanks for posting!

If you make it over to the Mission District, check out the Women's Building at 3543 18th Street at Lapidge Street... it'll blow your mind! Here is a small bit of that mural...

Will do! Thanks, x2cme!

Years before the white man came and tainted my beautiful country my people would paint caves of everyday life such as hunting and scenes of our living. Today the white man has turned this beautiful land into a civilization of trash filled cities and trailer parks where we once had our tepees and spirit rituals. Now they are stopping the same idea of painting the time in era by persecuting those who are keeping America in its purest form of freedom. The white man came and spread diseases, forcefully took over and built these concentration camps of states. I am all for street art depicting the times of our lives... more power to those who are not being thrown into this whirlpool of rules and no privacy days of living.
