There is a bar on Roosevelt Row called The Theodore and the front of it has been painted with a mural of Theodore himself. Since this is on Roosevelt Street it seems appropriate to have a bar named for the street's namesake, Theodore Roosevelt. The mural was painted by Tato Caraveo. Remember him? He's the guy who paints the murals with people with big heads. The last one I posted is here.

Is that pigeon's hat the gentleman's？right?
Uwielbiam murale a ten jest wspaniały.
It is not Roosevelt's best portrait I am afraid.
Grand mural, I bet you had a meeting with Taken For Granted today :-)
First time I have seen Teddy with a long face.
I like it a lot, Sharon! Love the bird .
Nice find Sharon, I specially like the bird :)
Thanks for contributing.
Theodore Roosevelt? I think that's a first for modern murals. I hope Trump doesn't succeed in getting him off Mt. Rushmore, but at least this will remain! (Yes, Trump did post a video where the 4 heads were removed from Rushmore and replaced with only him).

Don't know the artist, but I just got through reading about Teddy's 1912 run for the White House. It wasn't as nice as this mural.
Ha, we posted photos of this same mural today. Great minds must think alike.
The pigeon is a nice touch!
Nicely done mural, I like it.
Small world, isn't it, you and TFG posting the same thing on the same day.
Tato is certainly a gifted artist, though this is a pretty stylized Teddy. I like it.
Not sure I would have recognized him.
I do remember him Sharon, really like his style. Excellent discovery on Roosevelt Street✨
