Thanks, Erik!

Update (June 12, 2024) by Jerry Peek: Google Maps Street View has a rough photo of this street corner in January 2008 with a GRAND OPENING banner above the heads of the five people at the left end. Here's their June 2011 view:
By June 2013, only the five people at the left end of the mural remained; the center and east areas had been painted earth-brown. The sign over the building entrance — diagonally along the northeast corner of Congress and Grande — said “Connecting Threads Sewing Studio 206-9820” (back then, Tucsons didn't need to dial the 520 area code before phone numbers). In April 2015, the left end with the five men was pretty badly tagged. By August 2016 that last part of the mural had been covered in brown.

Hope that they don't paint over this mural as its a good mark of the old south west and Tucson.
I wanted to find this one so bad last week, but sadly enough did not find it. Because I had no right address. And now I find it here! Thanks. It's on my list for next year.
I love this mural. I make sure I show it out of town visitors that I take to "A" Mountain.
This one was painted over. Only about a foot and a half is left of this mural. Shame. I remember this one as a kid.
This mural is mostly gone as of Oct, 2004
