Bygone Mural

This mural used to be on North Lamar somewhere I think. Not very far north, maybe around 8th or 9th. Maybe it was by a car lot on the west side. Could be I took this in the '90's. But it once stood in Austin, that much I'm sure of. And it is no more. I'm pretty sure of that. The sentiment (and vehicles and hairdos) may seem a little dated but Austin is still a place where worlds and ideas collide, usually pleasantly. Weigh in if you remember seeing this mural in Austin. (I almost used this but decided it was too esoteric and there is an X-rated word, too.) I do want to use this blog to preserve things that are going away or gone, but I'll keep you up with current street art from time to time as well.

It is theme day. These 144 sites have vowed to post on the theme "a street mural or some graffiti in your city."
