along with the hands of the Diaz family
(the owners of the eatery). A depiction
of culture, love, and Hispanic heritage
pride, the mural is also a thank you
to Casa Ora’s community, which has
generously donated funds to help repair
damages from a series of break-ins the
restaurant faced during Hispanic Heritage
month. To celebrate the completion
of the mural and give back to the
community that rallied around them,
Casa Ora will be hosting a gathering on
Friday, 10/22. From 2:00pm – 4:00pm
that afternoon, they’ll gather folks outdoors
for complimentary hors d’oeuvres
from their fall menu, music, and to witness
the completion and signing of the
mural. Guests are invited to BYOB. Following
