Old-ish Mural by Guro Digital Complex Station

Went to dinner last night with old pal Adam, and he located a good place for 0-차, and sent it to me on Kakao.


Guro Digital has a wonderful eating street, but this post is not about that.
No, it's about this:


This mural on a wall across from the CU, which is in a very new building. The wall and the mural, by contrast, not particularly new, and seem to depict life in Seoul in the eighties (?).


This area used to be a grimy manufacturing hub until new government came along and tore everything (well, a lot of things) down to convert it into a high-tech hub, a digital complex. In the background below, you can see one of the big blue-glass office buildings that now dominate the landscape.


Below is a photo of me and the "neon lights of Guro-gu" taken by Tanner back in 2011.
