The walls (and even the grounds) of Long Beach were transformed last week by the international mural festival known as Pow! Wow!, which has previously been held in Hawaii, Taiwan, and Austin. Our correspondent Erwin Recinos was there every day, and all this week will be recapping the festivities and mural production for us one day at a time. Once you've seen our coverage, the next step is to go tour the completed murals in Long Beach in person. Huge thanks to Pow! Wow! for including L.A. Taco as a media partner, and congratulations to the organizers and the artists for putting together an incredible event that has left a lasting impact on the city of Long Beach. Please enjoy Erwin's coverage of Day 1...
