When, oh when, will they re-do the ugliest mural in the entire city, the blight of the Castro, the atrocity on the side of the Baghdad Cafe on Market? Worst. Mural. Ever. That thing needs a re-do. Or the building needs an earthquake.

Thanks Alice, I’ve been trying to find the name of the artist. I’ve just updated the post.

That’s a local artist named Brian Barneclo. He also has a room at the Hotel Des Arts and he did the Food Chain mural: http://sfciviccenter.blogspot.com/2006/08/brian-barneclos-food-chain-mural.html

Wow, I didn’t realize that the “17 Reasons Why!” sign was gone. I used to live a block from there in the 90’s.

Evidently, the sign was salvaged from a scrap yard in Benicia, and is now in storage.
