This is the wall of restaurant Bondir which opened in 2011, after Con Sol closed. The Google Street view picture was taken when Con Sol was still there. In the mean time a new building has also been erected right next to it. Bondir has an interesting new approach, namely a menu that changes every day, with a special emphasis on freshness of ingredients.

I don't know why there is a picture of a boat on church street, or who has painted it, but it's decorative. Style looks a little bit like the mural with the dancers on Western Ave

This is a mural depicting the firemen of Company No. 5 on the side of the building that houses the fire department. Painted by Ellary Eddy in 1980. The mural features George Washington, in honor of his time spent in Boston and his being a volunteer firefighter in Virginia, and Benjamin Franklin because he founded the first volunteer fire department in the US, and he is depicted wearing sneakers.

Coughlin Insurance in front is in my view among the ugliest buildings in the area, but you do get used to it after a while. I guess now, if it would disappear I would feel kind of sad. The mural however, is definitely nice and I am sure a lot of people like it.

Mystic Ave, Somerville, MA
This is quite a long one. The artist is David Fichter, who has done a lot of murals in the Boston area. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of pedestrians here, most traffic is in the form of cars coming from and entering the Interstate 93. Thanks to Google street view though, we can still get a nice view.

Below is the location on Google streetview. As you can see this mural is recent, as the streetview shows just a blank wall where the mural currently is. I think the artist is David Fichter, but I am not sure
