Mid Market – San Francisco
2174 Market Street
Mid market is a desolate stretch of abandoned store fronts and SRO’s. This long frontage of boarded up building has been covered by an artist known as Chor. This is not any random street painter, Chor has a worldwide body of work, including a commissioned piece for the Beijing Olympics. His website
displays his incredible talent, and his blog is loaded with fabulous images of his work.
I had the privilege of seeing some of his art gallery work at “The City We Love” showing at 941 Geary street. If you are in the neighborhood, drop in and ask about him.
