Wildlife on the streets of National City!

During my last couple walks in National City, I noticed many electrical boxes have been beautifully painted with native flora and fauna. It’s almost as if wildlife has joined me on the sidewalk!

These photos were taken on National City Boulevard, a little south of 8th Street. I’ve observed boxes like these elsewhere in National City.

It appears many of these electrical boxes were painted last year by artist Laura Green (@lauragreenstudio). It’s part of the National City Utility Box Project.

Some of the boxes also specify the names or species of the painted subject.

What a great way to beautify an urban environment! One can learn to recognize our wild neighbors, too!

I post new blogs pretty often. If you like discovering new things, bookmark coolsandiegosights.com and swing on by occasionally!

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

Feel free to share!

  1. Good Morning Richard,

    check out the light pole banners on Adams Avenue. Put up by the Normal Heights Business Association. Same idea of native wildlife.
