There are wall paintings everywhere in the Mission, but Balmy Alley feels like the heart of it all. In sunshine and with the odd roaming dog for company we wandered up and then down... their were stories of struggle we did not know the context for but we got the gist.
Started in the 1970s, there was passion and hardship and glorious colour, with the lovely ladies of the Precita Eyes Mural Arts Centre to chat to afterwards and then the delicious sweet treats of La Victoria, a block further on.
