Riverside Plaza Mural on the Vitamin Shoppe

A beautiful large new mural depicting the Riverside Plaza and nearby businesses in the Magnolia Center in earlier times has been painted on the west-facing side of the Vitamin Shoppe (3660 Central Ave, Riverside, CA).  There are also two nice paintings of vintage automobiles within the mural. The lead artist was Mano Mirande (@_mano_man_) of Manoymano_productions (@manoymano_productions) who worked with several other artists to complete the mural.  The last two photos show two of the artists at work.  There is also a short video on their Instagram pages showing the painting of the mural.

Skate Park Mural at Bobby Bonds Park

A colorful new mural has been painted on the sides of the skate park at Bobby Bonds Park (at about 4061 Douglass Ave.).  It is labeled Inspired Custom Arts and, based on an Instagram post, was painted by Ron Del Cid (@rondeezyyyy) and Alexis Mercado (@alexismercado__). Because of the difficulty of seeing the entire mural, I made a short video of it which can be seen on my YouTube channel.
