Neighborhood Mural

Maybe it's because so many artists come to study at The University of Texas and then don't want to leave Austin-- whatever. But we seem to have a lot of wonderful outdoor murals that brighten up our town. One of Austin's mottos is "Live Music Capital of the World." Sometimes I think you could add "and Murals" after "Music" in that line.

Here is the one on the west side of the Fresh Plus grocery store near 42nd and Duval in Hyde Park, one of the few remaining smaller, but full-service shops in town. Bright murals like this are a nice human touch to the visual landscape of our neighborhoods.
