Most parts of Cairo are grey. Brown, dusty and pale. And then you have the murals at Muhammed Mahmoud St., close to Tahrir Square. Portraits honoring those who've lost their lives, utterances of hope and slogans of defiance - it's all there. The street has seen the conflicts go down with noise and violence the previous year, and now it's like beacon of color in Downtown Cairo. Tahrir is almost empty, but the street is refusing to let it go.
