the artist depicts life in LA through a number of images and symbols. What I see are: cars‚ hearts over the cars‚ palm trees‚ men wrestling‚ a blimp with the words "a goodyear"‚ a horse‚ and a stamp. The palm trees in my opinion represent the weather in LA. The men and the horse represent the Olympics. The stamp can represent the souvenirs in LA. The blimp represents life in LA. In Frank Romero’s mural " Going to the Olympics‚ 1984" the artist paints hearts above the cars. Based on this image I believe

In Frank Romero’s‚ "Going to the Olympics" painting has a lot of cool and interesting stuff in it. There are cars with hearts above them‚ palm trees‚ a blimp with "Goodyear" spelling across it and symbols of the Olympics. I see iron‚ two men fighting‚ a horse and a stamp. All of these are most likely related to the Olympics. The cars probably mean that L.A has a lot of cars‚ especially since it was painted on a freeway and there is a bunch of traffic on them.
