Second Mural in South Park Public Art Program by DevNGosha

Thanks to our partnership with the Do Art Foundation, and local property owner PSP Investments, the once plain parking structure on Hope and 11th is soon to be adorned with a huge mural.  The art is being created by artist team DevnGosha, a duo formed in 2012.  While Devin's work is stylistically realistic, Gosha's is lyrical in form, making their joint efforts incredibly dynamic.

Work on the mural began on Friday, December 5, and will continue over the next couple of weeks, weather permitting.  Be sure to stop by and watch the artists in action as they help make this corner one of the hottest in the neighborhood.

For more information, please check out the news article on the topic here.

You can follow the artists at @devngosha on Twitter and Instagram.  If you snap any pics, make sure to tag the #SPDoesArt!

South Park has been lucky enough to have El Cholo as part of our community since 2010.  It isis a member of the El Cholo family that spans across the city, a Los Angeles native business that was initially established near the Coliseum in 1923.  With delicious Mexican food and cool pitchers of margaritas, El Cholo has the kind of atmosphere you love to enter and hate to leave.

Opening the same year that their Filet Mignon Tacos were awarded Best Taco in the city, the location in South Park is just across the street from LA LIVE & Staples Center, making it easily accessible for residents and visitors alike.  You can also order easily online!  

South Park BID would like to give a special thanks to El Cholo for being one of the restaurants to provide refreshments at our recent Annual Meeting.
