Thanks to the combined efforts of the late Rich James, the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA) and the people of Ocean Beach, once you’re in the heart of this eclectic community, you don’t need to look — or stroll — very far to view one of the eleven murals mounted to the walls of area businesses and restaurants. At Union Bank, located at 1858 Cable St., there is the 2009 community mural, which proudly waves the American flag along with a frothy beer mug and requi- site fireworks.

BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON

“Listen Local Showcase” — the Thursday evening spotlight at Win- ston’s Beach Club — continues to be one of the best venues to catch live music from both rising talent and old favorites — sometimes a little bit of both. Such is the case with the Mike Michaels Program, a new trio com- prised of veteran musicians performing at Winston’s on Feb. 16. Featuring frontman and guitarist Michael Hoisington, bassist Will Rinta- maki and drummer Brad Cunning- ham, the band came together in July 2011, putting together a slew of orig- inals over the last seven months.

Complementing the burgers are sides of double-fried French fries, $2.89; sweet-potato fries, $3.99; Vidalia onion rings, $4.49, and grilled asparagus sprinkled with parmesan cheese, $3.89. Shakes, including a flavor of the month, are $4.99. February’s offering is chocolate-covered strawberry. BGR’s lunch special, which runs Mondays through Fridays, is a burger with fries and soda at $8.99.
