        1. Chula Vista. Urban Timber-Mural, lumber Yard , showroom. https://www.sdurbantimber.com/
        2. Encinitas. Maggie Houlihan Memorial Dog Park. https://dogtrekker.com/directories/maggie-houlihan-memorial-dog-park/
        3. San Diego. 4674 Ohio street. In the alley behind is a photo mural. Perhaps 40 inches by 15 ft. Long. Years ago this photographer, or artist, posted 20×30 photos of dogs on the fence just south of this photo. Worth checking out. I’d like to know who the person is who does this kind of art.
        4. Encinitas. Encinitas Community Park Playground. Sounds tame but the design and features are inspired. Near Maggie Houlihan dog park.
        5. San Diego. Ocean Discovery Institute, 4255 Thorn St. James Hubbell gate and entrance.

        These are my first thoughts. Some others , i think, you’ve already covered.

    Who should I contact for more information?
