Freeway Revolt

This is the mural on Magazine Street in Cambridge.

In the 1970s, there was a thought that Interstate 95 would go through Cambridge. The people from that area would not allow their homes to be bulldozed and the neighborhood split in half by a highway. This mural shows how they stood up against the highway.

Even now, I95 goes around Boston, and Cambridge was spared from being split in half.

Middle East Wall

This weekend we went to visit some friends in Cambridge, MA and took quite a few pictures there.

This is the wall on the side of the Middle East Restaurant and Night Club. This is only a portion of a beautiful mural made by Daniel Galvez entitled "Crosswinds". This mural was painted in 1992.

For more information (including a picture of the whole mural), see the Cambridge MA website.
