Punk bands have the last laugh (or scowl): murals and signs in Hermosa Beach

At Floyd's 99 Barbershop (along with a nod to "Point Break"), 828 Pacific Coast Highway.

During our recent trip back home for Christmas, we spied music murals and signs all over Hermosa Beach, CA, from a market to a business wall to a bathroom to a parking structure. Hermosa ran Black Flag outta town and scoffed at punk rock in the early days when we were hanging around, so it's weird seeing this stuff. But it's there now and can't be ignored ... so we win. Ha ha.
