Monday Mural: PG&E gallery

There is a PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric Co.) substation at Shattuck Avenue and 51st St. that is surrounded by a massive concrete wall.  A few years ago the local merchants association, with the utility's cooperation, had local art students paint small murals in the wall's recesses.  Now the wall looks like a gallery rather than a prison wall.  Here's only one of the many paintings in this "gallery."

  3. Seeing (on your blog) how the whole city gets involved in putting up wall murals, I'm getting the picture that Oakland is a much more sophisticated city that I'd thought (sorry 'bout that). Good for PG&E. Good for the artists. Good for Oakland. Yay.
