City Smart / How to thrive in the urban environment of Southern California
Burbank Post Office * 135 E. Olive Ave., Burbank
The Los Angeles area has the nation’s second-largest concentration of Works Progress Administration art, after New York City. The Burbank postal branch is graced by a two-panel mural saluting the city’s most famous industries--filmmaking and aeronautics. Titled “People of Burbank,” the 1940 work by Barse Miller fits in with the building’s tile and wrought-iron Spanish mission motif.
