Fifth & Mission

Bay Bridge Murals and 49ers Logos Adorn This Honduran Village. Why?


Listen Later

Three thousand miles from San Francisco, a cluster of rural villages in Honduras is buzzing with the sounds of construction as new mansions spring up — many adorned with Bay Area iconography. The region shares a surprising connection to San Francisco: It is the birthplace of many of the city’s drug dealers. For the past 18 months, reporter Megan Cassidy and photographer Gabrielle Lurie have been investigating that link and how the open-air drug trade in San Francisco operates. They join Cecilia Lei to share what they learned. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
