The part of the mural that faced Telegraph Avenue was filled with everyday objects. A tennis shoe, a pair of scissors and a necklace were surrounded by smaller scale buildings, roads and cars.

A man walked past the far right end of the mural and gave the mural a sense of size. It towered over the man and was just over 156 long.

The left end of the mural wrapped around the corner of the building and continued a way down Dwight Avenue. In this section of the mural a house floated over a skate board.

A record turntable played a record filled with cars. The record cover to the left of the record player, read, "Welcome to Telegraph." A book had a yin-yang on its cover.
