Has anyone seen the incredible mural being painted right across from our favorite lot on Howard? Yes, the Brother's restaurant. Take a few minutes to drive by and observe a wonderful muralist at work. His name is Salvador Rodas Guinea, from Wide Palette faux finishes (650-771-2115) What a difference a mural makes on a plainish building. Maybe the Dairy Boy and Towles murals have had a domino affect! I hope so! Watch as the mural develops.

Isn't it great. I went up to Salvadore and congratulated him on such a lovely mural.

That mural is incredible all right -- incredibly awful! What's this town turning into? That Towles mural is bad enough. Makes the town look like Coney Effing Island. Come on, ladies gentlemen, this place is starting to really get garish. PLEASE NO MORE!!!!!!!

Brothers Deli is not the most attractive building in town and I think they have done a great job in trying to improve on it. Perhaps, Lucie, you think the Severn Lodge mural on California Drive is too garish? It is after all bright and cheerful! The original mural was painted in the 1920's and, thanks to The Burlingame Historical Society, has been preserved in its original glory. And with not one cent from the City or its taxpayers! Of course some residents like the Apple building, the pseudo-brick bunker next to the Garden Center, even perhaps the Safeway sign - all three places which are nasty. Oh well, chacun a son gout!

Hi,
I am looking for Salvador Rodas Guinea, someone can give me his address, telephone or his e-amil?
Thanks

Dear Fernando, it looks like his telephone is written in the first paragraph of this post., perhaps it is still good. If not, I'd imagine the Bros. Deli will have information about him.
