Historical Restoration in Los Angeles: The Historic Murals of L.A. Are Back!

While all the big real estate properties and historical landmarks might have been a subject of debate throughout the years in the City of Angels, historical restoration in Los Angeles has never been so interesting. The Big Orange has always been well known for its majestically crafted street art, which also featured historic murals at a certain point, until these exceptional pieces of LA's history became endangered in the last decade or so. However, last year, the Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles announced a new ordinance which indicated that these historic murals, including Glenn Avila's popular mural of LA Freeway Kids and the Monument series by Kent Twitchell would now be restored. Given that at a certain point in its past, the City of Angels was well known for its graceful historic murals, Los Angeles might finally be returning to claim its rightful place among the mural capitals of the world.
