Jazz Fresco
Caught on the current border between the ever expanding chinatown and North Beach, the Fresco on Columbus and Broadway represents the history of the Beatnik culture of North Beach. The painting on the wall conveys the influence of jazz music, the suspended books in the and engraved words on the ground convey the influence the local literature has had on the ever changing world.
Be sure to take a moment and really look at everything from the painting itself, to the floating pages of blank books suspended above you, and the subtly shimmering words engraved in the dirty cement under your feet!
