Do you ever blink your eyes at an oh-so-serious adult and wonder what they were like as a small child? Before growing up and becoming terribly sophisticated, did they love to draw simple things like hearts, flowers and smiles?
I saw this amazing tile wall in Escondido last weekend as I walked from the California Center for the Arts toward Grape Day Park. A plaque states it’s the 1994 Escondido Students’ Tile Mural. Hundreds of names from local schools appear on this happy, quilt-like mosaic.
The tiles were painted 26 years ago.
I have no doubt that many who painted their tile with small hands long ago still love hearts, flowers and smiles.

I live in downtown San Diego and love to walk around with my camera! You can follow Cool San Diego Sights via Facebook or Twitter!

Hi Richard. I took my grandchildren to look at the tile mural today. All 5 of my children did a tile back in the day. Today all I could find were tiles done by high school aged kids. Do you know where the tiles the younger elementary school students are? I walked all over looking. No on I asked was able to help me. Can you tell me specifically where you saw the tiles?

I’m afraid I just walked around randomly admiring the entire mural. That was some years ago. Wish I could help you!

Hi! I didn’t create the tile mural–I simply photographed it for my blog. Sorry!
