Malama Aina – Care for the Land is a powerful mural that’s been a part of Downtown San Jose’s public art scene since 2023.
Located on the side of Pono Hawaiian Grill at 86 N. Market St., this vibrant piece by artist Taylor Reinhold was completed just before the devastating fires in Maui. Its message—Malama Aina, meaning “care for the land”—is a call to honor and protect the environment while reflecting the deep relationship between people and nature.
The mural also celebrates the culture, traditions, and contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. Reinhold collaborated with Santa Cruz-based Made Fresh Crew artists Erik Smiley and Casey Landaker to bring the piece to life.
Take a moment to explore this mural and many others that enrich the streets of Downtown San Jose.

Keeping Downtown Clean, One Trail at a Time.
Our Groundwerks team recently took to the Guadalupe Trail for a full cleanup—clearing debris, beautifying the path, and making it safer and more welcoming for everyone.
We’re proud to support a cleaner, more vibrant Downtown San Jose—whether it’s sidewalks, alleyways, or scenic trails like this one.

Fight Night brought the energy to the South Bay — and the excitement was felt all the way to Downtown San Jose.
A packed crowd, electric atmosphere, and nonstop action just outside the city center.
