Monday Mural - Foley Coffee Shop


Foley, Alabama

A scene from maybe what...sixty years ago?
These are the kind of murals that I like.
How about you?

I love that. I am always amazed how they can paint on walls like that.

I like a good historic mural, but I like the modern ones too. My favorite is still the black & white of the kid with the slingshot in Sheboygan!

RedPat said...

I really like these too!

I think a splendid addition to that mural would be Sinbad in the foreground eyeing those doggies. We don't see enough of Sinbad.

A nice portrait of a peaceful quiet time.

Me too! This is a depiction of simpler times. I wonder if was really that wonderful back then, though. Well, I guess we like to think so.

Beautiful mural.
I agree; probably a long time ago.
Peace :)

I could almost see the people getting into the train.
Have you noticed the lady in yellow spotted you? ;-)

It's so realistic that I'd probably walk up to the window and try to buy a ticket. And then wonder why the service is so poor. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

Yes, I like this style too. Reminds me of a mural of about this same vintage of a family picking oranges in old Orange County in the Fullerton post office. I have a photo of it somewhere.

it's very down to earth and if it's a coffee shop then I'd be in for a mug of caffeine too, for sure. It's a very good mural
