Here's a larger photo.

We took a minute this week to stop by Mingle on Delaware Ave in Albany to gawk at the new mural on the side of the restaurant building.

The mural is the work of local artist/gallery owner Samson Contompasis, and is based on imagery from Prohibition-era Albany. (Contompasis also recently decorated one of the pianos in the "Play Me, I'm Yours" Sculpture in the Streets installation.)

We hear another mural is in the works for the opposite side of the building.

Great addition to the DELSO!

that's exciting, liking the new green paint job too

I have to second the "Go DELSO" excitement! Love this little, walkable corner of Albany. Honestly, the closest to the DIY spirit you see rejuvenating Troy within Albany
