Monday Murals: this is not a repeat


I'm once again joining Sami at Sami's Colourful World and her Monday Murals. Although I post at my regular time, please be aware that Sami's mural linky won't go live until 10:01 a.m. my time. I believe Sami is now back from her Christmas hiatus and Bleubeard and I are anxious to resume this weekly visit with her.

Some of you will see this mural in your icon view.  I have shown it before.  It was created by Pinkston in 2019.  Why am I showing it again, you ask.

The answer is simple.

I was driving by another day when I noticed the opposite side.

It is equally lovely.  I have to believe the same artist painted both sides.

The last time I stopped by, a lady was just leaving with a bag of what I thought was take out food.  I asked what kind of a restaurant it was.  I'm not sure if she didn't understand me, or what, but she said Guatemalan.  However, this time I took a photo of the signage (or part of the sign) and looked it up on the internet.  Tianguis Carniceria is a meat market, not a restaurant.  It is located at 3020 West 13th Street in Wichita, Kansas (USA) and may or may not be run by a Guatemalan butcher.

I would like to wish everyone a very happy, safe, and healthy New Year.

If you enjoy murals from around the world, please don't forget to visit Monday Murals at Sami's Colourful World.

  2. Lovely mural. Good news - your card arrived yesterday, along with a few others, thanks. The post has been very bad this year. Have a great day, Valerie

  3. Beautifully painted! And, wee, there is so much in the world that reminds me of The Simpsons, how crazy is this? In one episode Homer ate a Guatemalan Jalapeno and had the weirdest dream.
    I know, totally off topic ;-)

  4. came to mention that I forgot to put in the Kew post about the blue flowers - my bad, they are just yellow orange and white (don't have room in my camera bag for my reading glasses so never take them with me, mis-read a sign as "blue")

  5. The mural looks super on both sides, it was a very clever wall artist to create so much detail. I smiled when I read it was advertising a butcher and not a restaurant as you thought , my thought when I saw it was a greengrocer.
    I show just how differently we all see things.
    Have a good Sunday.

  20. Agree with Tom, how often have I had to go back to something because I didn't take the time to look around!
    This is lovely.
    I would like to see some of the goods in the store.
