Wednesday Walk - Mural in Jersey Heights

This is my #wednesdaywalk post, a great challenge initiated by Hive account@tattoodjay. Open to anyone, check the rules here: Wednesday Walk Challenge Rules

This mural is in the heart of Jersey Heights. It is painted on a building that houses a day care.

COMMUNITY - FAMILY - LOVE - CULTURE - UNITY

There is a park nearby and I saw some nice pink flowers that probably inspired the artist. Well... flowers inspire all artists.

Those words from the mural keep ringing in my ears. This community is mostly Hispanic. It is so strong, to the point that you MUST speak Spanish. I don't... so it bothers me. Many non-Hispanics felt the same and moved away.

So, my question is: Why bother painting those words in English? Nobody understands them anyway.

And you want to know something funny? There are many local mini-buses here that go to New York. NEW YORK. A proper name. Every body understands the proper name New York. Guess what? People here say Nueva York. For real... The bus drivers, when they stop to pick up passengers, they shout "Nueva York".

Come on already, that's ridiculous.
