Los Angeles Eco-Village’s intersection mural and adjacent bench-planters were inspired by the work of Portland’s City Repair. Thanks to Next American City, I came across the above video (and a short interview here) which gives a beautiful look into City Repair, and highlights one individual Michael Cook, who’s one of the leaders there.
Mural at the intersection of Bimini Place and White House Place
The intersection mural here, painted in September 2009, is looking a bit worn… seems like it’s time to host another street-closure block party, invite over the neighborhood families, and give it another coat of paint!
Who’s up for helping organize and paint?
