This mural is painted on the side wall and part of the back wall of the building that houses a restaurant and bakery, run by a religious sect.

The picture on the side has a picture of a king eating with a peasant (who happens to be wearing the king's crown) at a table, with the words, "Common Ground" above and below. In the middle picture, the same two characters are sitting at a fire hearth, drinking, with the words, "Cafe & Bakery" above it. The right picture has the words, "Common Sense Store, Authentic and Genuine Handcrafted Goods." Tying all these pictures is a background of a shaded green forest. On the back is the title of the restaurant again and a listing of the kinds of food they serve, plus a little about the religious group and a picture of them holding hands together.

The restaurant and mural is located on the corner of Dorchester Avenue and Richmond Street. The mural is on the north side of the building. The sidewalk in front of the mural is fairly narrow and usually filled with parked cars, so picture taking is challenging.

The food in the restaurant is good, especially their spiced grape drink and smoothies.
