It is a nice-looking mural. And very realistic. Is the scene at this place still like it shows in the mural?

Very similar still, except the Silver Theater is now owned by the American Film Institute and the corner drugstore is now a Panera Bread. Also, the surrounding area is much more dense. There was a huge fight put up by the historical society to retain the art deco building. We almost lost it to a huge shopping mall.
