This facade faces the Chinatown neighborhood.
And this side faces the North Beach (or Little Italy neighborhood).
I cannot avoid snapping at this building which houses some apartments upstairs and a Chinese restaurant downstairs. I haven’t been to this establishment. Yelpers are not too kind to it, though.
One time while surfing the net I read one article calling this building the Jazz Building, but I cannot find any other articles that call it Jazz Building. Anybody else know why the mural and what it is for?
Hoping that you have a lovely Memorial Day weekend.

That is such a cool mural. I love the way it shows the man playing piano. I hope you had a happy memorial day weekend and a great week ahead.

I have seen this jazz mural from when I used to live in the area and always wondered about it myself. Quite a project!

The side facing Chinatown could almost be painted on with the quality of your photography. This for sharing this beautiful building with us.
