This is a small portion of hundreds of these newspaper portraits -- they're all taped to the inside of a window on 24th Street.
24th Street seems a bit different from the remainder of the Mission District. It's tree-lined and nicely shaded -- probably (?) fairly close to what you'd find in Mexico.

Evidently, competition between laundromats on 24th Street is fierce -- the signpainters seem to be keeping busy.

These last three photos were taken on Balmy Alley off of 24th St.

I believe Dona Diabla was a film made in Mexico in the early 1950's.

When you are a cool dude you need a cool hat... --But I guess I'm just not cool -- I've been wearing the same baseball cap for the past eight years -- I'm wearing it right now -- it says "Dodge"

What a colorful and picturesque place, and as always, wonderfully captured!
Wonderful street art. Love how you've put together this collection of images.
NICE pictures.Sorry to tell you, it's time for a new hat. BONNYE
Pretty cool stuff. Hope you stopped at Clarion alley, too. Endless photo ops there, if you like street art (between Valencia and Mission). TF
Cool oix of the murals.. And I remember seeing the newspaper portraits, but forgot where...
