Serving OB, the Peninsula and San Diego Beaches
The surreal mural on the east side of the Template in OB has gotten some attention. Richard Schulte runs a photo-dominant blog called cool san diego sights and recently shared a series of pics of the mural.

We are lucky to have so many beautiful murals like these around our neighborhood…keep ‘em coming!
Whether I am in Gallup, New Mexico or the City of San Diego, one of my great loves is to see and photograph colorful murals. Bring rich, cultural, and thought provoking art to the public is every bit as enriching as great monuments of historical value.
