It’s Virtually Graffiti Summer!
By Chris Murphy
So much has changed in the last few months and things continue to change daily. There were some really big plans that have been cancelled due to the pandemic, but there are some smaller events that still may happen. We will do our best to keep our eyes and ears out for car shows or other Graffiti Summer activities that may happen as we learn about them. There are a couple of events that you need to know about and some good local history you need to learn about so you can be in the groove next year.
Make sure you check out our calendar at www.modestoview.com as we add new happenings and follow us on Facebook and Instagram @modestoview to be in the know on all things Graffiti Summer. Read More
Larry Neville of the Legendary Neville Brothers
By: Abigail Murphy and Harrison Power
In 1947, twin brothers Willis and Willard Neville opened up the classic institution that we know today as Neville Brothers. Located at 723 Needham Street and recognizable by the beautiful cars and murals that grace the exterior of the building, Neville Bros is known as a historical landmark and a staple for those in the Modesto Graffiti and Classic Car community.

Many classic car owners only trust Neville Bros. to work on and respect their classic cars. The stories and cars that have passed through Neville Bros over the years have been at the heart of Modesto USA. We talked with owner Larry to learn more about his experiences growing up in Modesto and how Neville Bros. has evolved over the years. Read More

Some folks have the “give me liberty or give me death” vibe and these guys just want to go things with no ‘gubberment’ interference, then there are those who won’t leave their bat cave until the kryptonite is gone.
