Abbey Road mural comes together

  • Post author:

Following the destruction of the old Chuck Berry / Elvis Presley / Jim Hendix mural on the side of Golden Oldies back in August and the aborted replacement, a new new replacement is finally underway.

The Seattle Weekly notes that the new mural is the work of noted muralist David Heck and will feature the likenesses of the Fab Four, a la Abbey Road…if Abbey Road was a stretch of I-90 leading up to Snoqualmie Pass, perhaps?

(Thanks to Nancy M. for the heads up!)

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    I think it is cool as it is – people can stand in front of it and have their picture taken!

    Beautiful work, but it does seem a bit risky presenting such a strong illusion of a road there, given what happened to the last mural!

    Needs a “Free Bird Seed” sign.

    I think it would be nice if they didnt paint anything else on it. Then one could stand in front of it and be ones own fab four or five or six or one.

    Two thumbs up. This is better than the mural pre-crash and infinitely better than that last crap they had up there.

    So cool. I love this.

    Floor Pie, I thought the exact same thing.
