"The idea for this print started 3 yrs earlyer (sic.) when I first saw the buildig (sic.) is which Self Help Graphics is in. I have buildings, structures and fell in love with [the] shape of the building. Also it's home for me growing up in East Los "and once more seing (sic.)" East L.A. with fresh eyes after a long time of absence. I've painted this building many times before in various forms and nedias. the time was right and I was given the opportunity. The palms (sic.) trees, people in crowded buses, people whiting (sic.) for their bus, the many phones (sic.) poles. It's Home!" R. Gutiérrez

A bus full of people is coming through the adjacent street, where a street sign reads: "Brooklyn Av.". In the background one can see houses, palm trees, the moon, stars, and two shooting stars.
