There’s never been a shortage of “colorful” language to be heard in downtown San Jose’s Fountain Alley, but these days that language is actually about colors: bright blues, vibrant reds and summery yellows.

Last month, Urban Community — which owns the connected buildings that face both Fountain Alley and East Santa Clara Street — had the office and retail spaces painted. And this month, crews are working on the building facades that face East Santa Clara Street. Jeff Arrillaga, one of the principals at Urban Community, told me they’re doing whatever they can to add vibrancy to the area and help draw attention to the buildings’ tenants.
