North Beach Mural - San Francisco 2012 |
Tamales 1.00 - San Francisco 2012 |
Top: Seen in a North Beach alley. Not sure what it represents.
Later: OK, after much Googling, found this:
Check out the Dante Benedetti memorial mural on Jasper at
Green. Dante was a North
Beach legend who mentored
hundreds of young men in baseball and life. He often fed them at his restaurant
“New Pisa” when it was located at the corner of Vallejo and Grant and paid for
their equipment out of his own pocket.
The mural depicts his old baseball players. Those still
living are sitting facing the North Beach Field with their names on their
jerseys. Those who have passed are represented as angels being looked over from
the upper left by Dante, who passed away in 2005.
No explanation on what the boat represents.
Bottom: On a Mission District cross street.
