“This is my favorite mural it has no name so I call it “Deadman’s Garden”.  It depicts a man growing a plant out of his chest cavity.”

“The man is dead with his head covered. The plant, however, has no flower, but a heart is depicted as being the bloom.”

The bird on the dead man’s legs is a San Pedrito (Puerto Rican Tody), an endemic bird on the island found nowhere else in the world.

“The heart was painted with lots of detail. Perhaps there is an analogy of the heart with the flower since both need air; the plants through transpiration, and humans through respiration.”

Circa 1870,   Mr Pullman built a town so the factory workers in his factory could have clean air,  running water, plumbing & good schools for their kids.

He financed the town with bonds & charged the people rent. The company did all the maintenance and kept the houses, landscaping and parks clean & pristine.

Then  came a recession. He cut wages. but didn’t cut rents.  This started the rail-road strikes. Pullman was reviled, became called despicable & un-American.
Now, over 100 years later,  some of these houses are still in use.
