Description
Chicano Park freeway overpass on I-5. Painting of a bat with words reading "Bat Vato". "This project was a suggestion by the architect, Rob Quigley, proposing a "North Gate, East Gate, and West Gate. Mr. Quigley's goal was to create an image for each location that will identify that community. A public meeting was held to express public opinion. Salvador and Gloria Torres attend. Salvador Torres states that out Barrio Logan community has an image created by our monumental murals since 1973. Mr. Quigley confesses publicly that he got his idea from our mural environment in hopes that other communities can create their own image using the "Gate" program." Salvador Torres
