I like that Pic of the Santora. It reveals some existential truth about the building and probably the city of Santa Ana. It is all in a state of Flux man. It can go either way.
It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places but nobody would ever know it because there is no historical plaque or signage about the fact anywhere on or in the building.
The group’s Facebook page is at: http://www.facebook.com/#!/uasantaana.
Maybe the artist should take things into their own hands and collect money for a historical plaque if nobody else in the city is interested in it’s historical preservation.
