Mural frescoes are spread around the whole Mission District. The largest concentration is in Balmy Alley, a run-down little street, but the finest are at the northeastern corner of Mission Street and 24th Street, and the corner of 24th Street and South Van Ness Avenue. As the art of frescoes gains in popularity, new works are popping up here, there and everywhere, to be sniffed out in this colourful neighbourhood of San Francisco.
