Monday Murals: Several

 

It's time once again to join Sami at Sami's Colourful World and her Monday Murals.  Even though it's still Sunday in my world, please be aware that Sami's mural link goes live at 11:01 a.m. my time today.   

There's a lot going on here from the various meals they serve here,

to the Keeper of the Plains holding a tomato, to the Pick Up girl Viola, 

to some unidentifiable food, to a rolling pin, to the buildings with the airplane (a nod to Wichita, Kansas being the air capital of the world).
 
Of course, then I discovered there is one of the over 230 molded and decorated Keepers of the Plains.

The real reason I came was to find this specific mural.

No matter where I stood, I didn't actually get the mural in its entirety.

There are several shops located in this building complex.  This is Viola's Pantry. Viola's Italian pantry serves fresh meals and home-made sauces. Viola's Pantry also offers weekly hands-on pasta making classes.
 
I also found this

Fun mural with all the foods and the Keep of the Plain Tomato. Really love the play on words with the You are what you eat and create.

Great murals! I especially liked the crEATe with You Are What You Eat. I love street art, and I love murals in general. They do so much for a neighborhood. So bright and cheerful.

P.S.... thank you for the link! I had no idea of Wichita that way - will sure show Ingo!
I have to admit... I grew up thinking Cessna is the name for a plane-model. I´m sorry, Clyde!!!
See, THIS is what they should teach in history-lessons at school, not only about Hit#er...

Btw... to the summer-post: Germans are weird. We do own this condo. But you are not allowed to install anything that touches the house-structure, other every owner agrees (that is why we are the only ones with a balcony - the pre-owners made it possible).
Worse is Australia! When you live for rent you are not allowed to paint a wall other the owner agrees. When I learned that I thought, hm, glad I live in Germany!
But I agree. If I was rich I had a house. And no close neighbors stomping above!

What a fun mural you found Elizabeth. I like the "you are what you eat" and the "create" mural too.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Elizabeth
