Wall Mural in The Barrio in Carlsbad

 

Wall mural in The Barrio in Carlsbad CA

 

Carlsbad has an impressive collection of wall murals scattered throughout Carlsbad Village and in an area known as The Barrio centered aroung Roosevelt Street and Walnut Avenue.

 

The Barrio is an interesting area of Carlsbad, consisting mostly of older single family homes, some apartment buildings, and a few commercial operations including the popular and well known Lola's Market. The Barrio, one of Carlsbad earliest neighborhoods, developed with the immigration of many Mexicans during and after the Mexican Revolution in 1916.

Jeff I love the bright colors in this wall mural. 

By the way 1952 was a very good year :)

Thanks Noel Mayer  - it was really fun to see in person. I have quite a collection of mural photos from my area.

Hi Kathleen Daniels 

Thanks for visiting. It was such fun to just stumble across this vibrant, large wall mural in a mostly residential area!

There is so much going on in the mural ~  at first glance, I only notice colors.  But, deciding to stay just a bit longer ~ taking in the carefree nature of it all.  Just beautiful!  Thank you for sharing Jeff Dowler
