Hayward California Murals Astound--Again
















Andrew Kong Knight is at it again. After months of meticulous work, the scaffolds have come down and the new "Hayward Meets Hollywood" murals are now on display. Each stunning mural is approximately 30' by 50' in scale and features original designs based on vintage art deco motifs and architecture.

I previously mentioned other murals in Hayward. The city seems to have a real mission in beautifying itself. The next thing is a major new road and traffic project that has been tying up the intersection at Mission and Jackson Streets but will ease congestion when it's done. After that, it would be great to fill in the empty storefronts along Foothill Blvd. A city's work is never done, especially in hard economic times.

For those of you who are not locals, just enjoy the photos.

Murals Beautify Hayward

Hayward, California has made a commitment to improving itself with some sensational murals in its Mural Art Program.

Besides the gorgeous one shown at left, the largest one in town is Andrew Kong Knight's 3,500-square-foot "Gateway to Hayward" just a block away. It portrays Hayward as it would possibly have looked before all the people and their buildings moved in.

There are many more beautiful works of wall art around town.
