COMMERCE: Everyone's favorite fortress-mall, the Citadel Outlets, has just gotten these two murals, hand-painted by artist Tracey Moloney. One mural features LA landmarks including City Hall, the Hollywood Sign, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Memorial Coliseum, the Santa Monica Pier, the Griffith Observatory, and USC and UCLA. The other features the OC, with Disneyland, a DC-3 airplane, orange groves, and a gas station. In a press release, Moloney says "In keeping with the historical nature of Citadel Outlets, we developed the murals to lead viewers back in time circa 1955." [Curbed Inbox]
