Mural Alley, Hillcrest, San Diego
View Original Description
San Diego's Original Mural Alley: Located the heart of Fabulous Hillcrest, between Third and Fifth Avenue in Hillcrest- Mural Alley was once the home of several murals, including a famous Shepard Fairey mural. With time the murals along this stretch of San Diego's most colorful neighborhood, slowly disappeared. That all changed in 2012 when Crest Cafe commissioned the Purple Elephant by Cody Griffin. Soon after the neighborhood experienced an explosion of public art that expanded Mural Alley into a neighborhood wide celebration of art that includes photographs on utility boxes, paintings on rubbish receptacles and an entire shopping hub- redeveloped with art as a focus.
