Melrose Murals

Heineken Mural at 3rd Avenue and 149th Street celebrating various aspects of Puerto Rican life and culture both here in NYC as well as back on the island.  The Taino sun is beautifully depicted  setting into the sea. 
Although I appreciate that a mural was done for our people, I'm a little miffed that it had to be bastardized by the Heineken logo everywhere...time to start a new mural which mayhaps won't feature some corporate stamp all over it?

Melrose Murals

East 151st @ Melrose Avenue

Before The Grand Concourse...

... there was Mott Avenue.  This picture is of the mosaic station name on the south bound 2/5 subway at 149th Street and Grand Concourse.   This station really has some beautiful tile work that needs to be preserved.   There are even tiles which read "UP TOWN" and "DOWN TOWN" from a time when the words were written separately and not like today's modern downtown and uptown.
