They look better than ever without the dated framing they had. Maybe they'll look great in the next new airport.

They do look better! Who would've thought? There are
so many murals in this town that have been painted over
or demolished. To have saved them and placed them
in the right location, would have been a way to celebrate
Santa Barbara's unique and artistic history, which does
not get the attention that it has always deserved.

The murals will be installed on the Chapala Street side of the new market building, so they're not travelling far. They're the work of Joseph Knowles, a popular local artist.

They are where they are going. They are on a new
concrete foundation with stubbed out rebar for later
completion of the move.

Yes, where you see them in these photos is where they will remain.

Funny they put them behind the Arlington. I think tonight when I take out the trash, I'll put the cans in front of my neigbors house. Saving these ugly paintings is lame. Especially the portion that has the sack bearing woman toiling for food with her man standing next to her watching her work as he holds what could be a spear or oar. Or the famous one with a priest next to his enslaved Chumash builders. Thank god they gave these slaves a casino in reparations for such atrocities! Oh wait.... The band of chusmash with a casino are the ones who fleed enslavement. My bad.

Last time I checked none of the Chumash benefiting from the casino are that old.
