Description: "Salvador and Gloria with sun hats, Gloria cleaning the paint gallon lids. The lion seen at the R-hand corner is one of the smiling animals despised by opposing Escondido community members. (See City of Escondido City Council meeting in Salvador Torres Archival) Daily passengers in cars would pass the mural site and shout their approval and disapproval - "Great", "Good Work", thumbs up, and "Go Back To Chicano Park!" Being that this was the first public mural in Escondido this experience created much public reaction of good and bad feelings, the bad feelings led to its racist vandalism." Salvador Torres
