On A Mission

If you like murals like we do, Frisco's Mission District should be on your bucket list. Here's just a sample of some of the great public wall art on display. The neighborhood is also known for having a ton on hole-in-the-wall eateries featuring just about any kind of ethnic food you might want. TSG recommends La Taqueria at 2889 Mission. They are justly famous for their "Mission style" burritos, but our fave there are the quesadillas de harina with an extra splash of their house salsa verde. Yum!

Inspired by Ditzler/Desiged by Hubbell/Gifted By The Buffums (Plus Odd Bonus Valentine Image)

This week, TSG digests the architectural curiosity that is Sonoma County's Sea Ranch Chapel

From the County website:

... this non-denominational chapel welcomes your visit. The 360-square-foot chapel and its grounds were gifts of Sea Ranch residents Robert and Betty Buffum in memory of Kirk Ditzler, a navy pilot, zoologist, and artist.

Ditzler’s drawings formed the basis for the chapel’s design, which was brought to life by architect/artist James Hubbell and a team of craftsmen and artisans using local materials. Hubbell also designed and crafted the windows, chandelier, doors, fountain, mosaics, and other elements in the chapel.

And here's that odd bonus Valentine image we promised you...
