MEX
Casey,
one of the three former owners of the Bug Jar, bought this place
on Alexander Street, Rochester's "Restaurant Row." In
it's former life it was Chez Jean Pierre, a french restaurant
and a jazz club. And according to Nelson and John, who used to
own "Iggy's Study" on Park Avenue, it was a head shop/boutique
called the "Mud Elephant" in the early seventies. They
would know.
It
is now open as "Mex " and I was hired to paint a mural
on the inside left wall. I photographed the progress and finished
in February.
The
nine pages below chronicle the project.
