This mural decorates the Oakland Grill which is located in the old warehouse produce district. This work contains all the local references an Oaklander values. In the far left is native son Jack London with the husky from
Call of the Wild. Behind him are the cranes at the Port of Oakland. The next panel references our local pro sports teams, Lake Merritt, City Hall, and the Grand Lake Theater. At the near table are Jerry Brown and Ron Dellums, previous mayors (Jerry is now our governor). Having coffee with them is, I believe, Alice Walker, author of
The Color Purple.
If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme's for you. Just follow the Linky steps below. You get to decide what constitutes a mural. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to the mural finds posted this week. I will be out of town for several days but will do my best to leave comments.
