Monday mural: frutas y verduras

Los Hermanos is located on Fruitvale Avenue in the the Fruitvale District.  Officially, it is called a fruteria y carniceria, but their mural focuses on fruit and vegetables.  It is a bright colored wall that draws attention as you drive up the avenue.  The produce (see the nopales?) and the business's name tell you that this is primarily a latino neighborhood.  It is a vibrant area full of products and services for the people who live here.  The most authentic Mexican and Central American food and cooking ingredients can be found in the Fruitvale.

    It has all the appearances that you are down in Mexico on vacation. Don't you wish?

    That's a delightful bright mural for the fruit and meat store... on that irregular shaped wall! I can almost see Jack climbing up the beanstalk... :-)
