Image Descriptions: A series of photos of a trippy mural painted on a building's side wall made of brick. The mural depicts a long, winding limousine like automobile upon which various fantastical creatures cavorting at the viewer. The second to last photo is a full depth shot of the mural from back to front. The last photo is of the upper right corner of the building where the artist made their mark.

No other indigent graffiti touches the mural, though there is plenty around the area. This art is respected by the locals.

The building used to be the Unity clinic. It will be demolished soon to make room for new high rises as part of the NoMa improvement project. I do not know if there are plans to preserve the mural.

Note: Be wary of the uneven sidewalk in front of the mural. It's a serious ankle buster. :(
