This here mural really cleaned up really nice. And he also replaced a lot of tiles, that went missing during the years. He also did the same thing to the Goddess of Pomona mural on W. Second St.

What's this?

 


What is going on, they just add a sealer to help protect the Goddess from anymore water stain build up.




Also they installed these to keep skateboarders off.






The wait was worth it

 



It's been many of years since I seen them in this great condition. I took these here pictures this morning during my morning ride, enjoy.

Winter is here.


The rain has finally here, I took this here picture early this morning. But by the time I got halfway home, it started to rain. Looks like my loaf of bread and chips and myself, just made it home.
Well you all stay safe and dry.

Fixing the damage

 


Moving along on the second part of restoring the last two water fountains here at the Pomona Mall on E. Second St.


Before


And after, what a difference.


The Dolphin must be one "Happy Camper" getting all this attention.






Goddess of Pomona Tile Mural Water Fountain on W. Second St.

 


Looks like the Goddess got a bit of a facelift. Water stains have been removed, looking good Goddess!.


This morning the sun was just at a point where it highlighted her hair, the gold really stands out.


And all these years, she still manages to keep her figure


 Looking good Pomona.




We need more "Chalk Art"

 



Like I said before we need more chalk art in different parts of downtown Pomona.
Big thanks to Gus Moran for helping me prove that chalk art matters.
