mural with mattress

I was in the neighborhood to see a photography show of old Oakland business signs at Woody's Cafe on Park Blvd.  This mural was spotted behind Woody's Laundromat which is next to the cafe.  The mural was sponsored by the Lake Merritt Business Association, presumably to spruce up the parking lot and the street it faces.  I don't think the mattress was part of the original artistic vision.

  2. Colorful mural, but what a place to dump your old mattresses.

  3. This is great; there are quite a few examples of wall-painting in Brighton and probably in a lot of other UK towns.

  4. The mural is fabuolous! I will never understand why people leave old mattresses no matter where, but this one looks kind of funny there actually! :-)

  5. So the question is - did you take a little nappy-poo on the mattress?
