250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence Mural

A new mural commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence has recently been painted on the building that holds the Brickwood bar (3653 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501). It features the saying e pluribus unum, out of many, one. The mural is unsigned but I believe that it was painted by Juan Navarro @luvmonsterz.

Renovated Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the Main Street pedestrian mall in downtown Riverside (3900 Main St.) has recently been renovated. The statue is largely unchanged but the surrounding walkway and seating are new.  There are also some plaques with quotes from Dr. King and some recognizing key organizations involved with the memorial.  Close-ups of the statue and a view of the old memorial can be found here.  The artists involved in designing and creating the new memorial are not known.
