Echo Park Quinceañera mural restored to its former glory

Retouching the mural. Twitter photo via @andresjcruz

Andres Cruz on Twitter sent us the above photo yesterday, showing the progress made on the Quinceañera mural on the former Pescado Mojado building. The mural, painted in 1996, was being sanded off for the new Señor Fish restaurant when the neighborhood protested. Work stopped immediately, and the new restaurant owners hired an artist who had worked on the mural before to begin the retouching immediately.

    Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.

    When I look at your blog in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that,
    great blog!

    Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured
    I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
    My website addresses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe
    we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!

    Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers
    and I’m looking at options for another platform.

    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  13. tinyurl.com says:

    Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images
    on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the
    blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  14. Leonardo Martins de Almeida says:

    I absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for.
    Does one offer guest writers to write content for yourself?
    I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on most of
    the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome web site!

  15. Savannah says:

    Hey superb website! Does running a blog like this require a lot of work?
    I’ve absolutely no knowledge of programming but I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyway, should you have any recommendations or tips for new
    blog owners please share. I understand this is off subject
    however I simply had to ask. Thanks!

  16. Leonardo Martins de Almeida says:

    This design is steller! You definitely know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job.
    I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!

    Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i
    own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get
    a lot of spam comments? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
    I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so
    any assistance is very much appreciated.

  19. Shad says:

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering
    what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice
    would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

    are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment is added I
    get four emails with the same comment. There has to be a means you are able to
    remove me from that service? Thanks!

  25. Leonardo Martins de Almeida says:

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of
    plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored
    myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up
    all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help stop
    content from being ripped off? I’d really appreciate
    it.

  26. Alina says:

    It’s genuinely very complex in this busy life to listen news on TV, therefore I only use internet for that reason, and get the latest news.

  27. tinyurl.com says:

    Hey would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re using?

    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I
    must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price?

    Thanks, I appreciate it!

    Wonderful work! This is the kind of information that should be shared across the
    net. Shame on the search engines for no longer positioning this post

  29. Kassie says:

    Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough
    time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
