The parking lane, outdoor dining/drinking space, and outdoor taproom of Good Omen Meadery in Escondido (now out of business). In an effort to keep local businesses afloat, the parking lane of Grand Avenue has been closed off with concrete barriers, allowing businesses to set up outdoor dining. Businesses and artists have painted the concrete barriers, creating small outdoor murals that run along 3 or 4 blocks on both sides of the street. The center lane of Grand Avenue is now given over to parking, with traffic moving along the left lane. Despite the efforts of the city, there seem to be a number of vacant storefronts, indicating businesses that have gone under in the past year.
