Ben’s Chili Bowl, revisited

I’ve been wanting to return to Ben’s Chili Bowl, a Washington landmark, ever since I first photographed the back end of the mural last November (below picture). I couldn’t take a picture of the other part due to all the tables and umbrellas in the way. We were in the neighborhood on Sunday, and I finally got my picture.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.
