4th and Sutro mural

Miner mural, possibly Clampers with occasional overspray. Found on either side of Sutro near 4th st. 'Light at the end of the tunnel' would be a good title for this if I could afford a plaque and some gorilla glue. I'll have to settle for 'whatcha see is whatcha get' and be content with my bread pudding from the nearby Panaderia.

4th and Sutro mural

Two nights ago we started a new mural on 4th st. As most people know, 4th St. is the butt of many jokes when it comes to crackheads, prostitutes, and seediness. So it only seemed appropriate that we borrow a projector from UNR, hook it up to my laptop, and project the murals image on the wall to trace the proportions right. We did this from 9ish all the way till 3am. And surprisingly enough, we experienced no drivebys, no muggings, not even a well-to-do heckling. In fact, it was so peaceful there at the Sutro Motel that I could have sworn I was inside the confines of Caughlin Ranch. But, I've got to laught when I look at the photo of Yale because all I can see is the mexican styled, Coca Cola bottle. All throughout the neghborhood you can only purchase Coke from these beat up bottles. So to protect ourselves from Laptop wanting, drug-fiending, playboys of the night we kept this thick-glassed Coke around for safe swinging.

Whatif on standby

Waiting to hear back about this proposed idea for the corner of 4th and Sutro. This would be my first memorial type mural. At least in planning. I only say that because the train mural on Ponderosa Meat Co. happens to be right where the train line used to run through town, but that's a different story. This mural references the Sutro tunnel that was dug out during the Comstock frenzy. This tunnel pierced through Mt. Davidson and made it possible to drain and ventilate the many mines in the Comstock Lode, and to permit the miners to bring out the rich silver ore. Adolph Heinrich Joseph Sutro was born in Prussian and came here mid-19th century. He struck it rich in V.C. than went on the become the first jewish mayor of S.F. Besides his Sutro tunnel, he at one point owned 1/12th the property in S.F., one of which being the Cliffhouse and Sutro Baths.
