M&F's Reach is Deep


M&F is based around Melrose and Fairfax, but our reach is much farther, literally reaching out to every corner of Los Angeles.

Here are some pics of a cool Mexican/American shared pride mural deep in the Valley.

Even though it is only 45 minutes away, it feels totally different from Hollywood.  It is much poorer and there is not glitz and glam like in Hollywood, but there are also plus sides.  For instance, there is plenty of non-metered parking.  So much, in fact, that this car is sitting on the street with only 3 wheels on its tires.  Shasta is pulling on the leash to try and chase a stray cat under the car.  Click the jump to see more pics of Shasta getting a cat chase, and the mural itself.

America and Mexico, not Iran


New street art from Enik One in downtown Los Angeles featuring a woman wrapped in an American Flag. However, the colors of Iran have been put in place of the traditional red/white/blue of the flag.

***(actually, the colors are not Iran as we initially thought. It is actually the colors of Mexico that are being interwoven into the American flag, which perhaps has even more relevance, especially in LA)***

Assembled in Mexico


West Hollywood fiercely patrols all 2.1 square miles of its entire area, keeping it virtually buffed clean.

So we were surprised to see what looked to be tiny stickers all up and down Santa Monica Blvd, apparently stuck up on the cross walk boxes.

However, it is not a sticker at all, but it seems to be a stamp from the production factory, painted in white that reads 'Assembled in Mexico'.

This is interesting because the stamp leaves a mark on an otherwise jet black background. If the city buff squad now gets used to the tiny marks on these boxes, will that lead to tolerating more stickers?
