Bart Simpson pulls down Santa Homer's beard (Merry Christmas!)
I asked Graffiti Life (who painted the mural) where it's located along Brick Lane — so I could give you a tour of the art-lined street on Google Street View. They told me that it's been painted over. (It was painted in 2013, I think.)
Want to see other Christmas murals? Here's a Google Search for christmas street art.
I hope you're having — or had — a peaceful Christmas (and that Santa made it out of your house alive!).

Quincie Douglas Center ten years later
Quincie Douglas became active in the Model Cities program that brought neighborhood centers, sidewalks, street lights. and neighborhood food programs to the poorer sections of Tucson. Her major accomplishment in Tucson was the Low Income Free Transportation Service (LIFTS) program that is still in operation today.You can see a LIFTS van in the mural above. The mural is outside the library entrance. This plaque is underneath: I visited in 2010 when there wasn't as much art. If you'd like to jump back, click on Quincie Douglas Center.
Before I checked out the other art nearby, I looked out back to see if there was any there. I found the sign for the garden: There are two benches outside the recreation center. The first one is along the walkway between the library and rec center entrance: Here are closeups, left to right: (As always, you can click on a photo for a slideshow of larger images.)
The other bench is near the entrance to the recreation center: Again, from left to right: There's another mural, dedicated to the Buffalo Soldiers, to the left of the rec center entrance (there were a couple of glare spots): And the plaque underneath: I visited on June 3rd.

Arroyo Chico Community Mural
The Arroyo Chico Community Mural (named "FLOW") was painted by Porter McDonald on a wall on the west side of the Mission Church's parking lot. The parking lot is enclosed by a chain link fence that is only open during services. The photos were taken on May 18 and Sept. 13, 2020.
Here is a link to Porter's comments about the mural: Arroyo Chico Stories

Many murals at Govinda's
(By the way, I really enjoy Thanksgiving there. It's vegetarian, of course. And the fun part is that they've had a live turkey walking around the grounds.) I stuffed my face (and took photos) on November 4th.

The Spanish translates to English as "Together With Biden and Harris". I realize that some of you will like the message and some won't. If you want to make a comment, please keep it civil.
