Poppies not yoga

That was the scene June 20th, one block south of Broadway on 4th Avenue. It's the mural painted recently for the new business Arizona Poppy. We have photos of earlier murals on these walls, from Tucson Yoga, taken between 2009 and 2012:

• Country in the city (May 28, 2009)
• Country in the city, part 2 (October 18, 2010)
• Tucson Yoga (mural) reborn (October 14, 2012)

Bodega Solai

The Downtown Tucson Partnership (which promotes activities and businesses around downtown) wrote that Bodega Solai is a place to get "a quick bite to eat, snacks, drinks, CBD, workout supplements, smoke & vape products, and more! And don't forget their sock wall! All socks just $2!"

It seems that the inside is just as eclectic as the outside. Click on the photo for a larger view and look at the sign at the lower left.

I was there June 20th.

Flower Stop ten years later

It was November 23, 2011 when I posted a photo of Flower Stop on South 12th Avenue that looked a bit like a construction zone. When I came back on April 3, 2022, I saw:

Arte Bella's beautiful art

In Italian, Arte Bella means beautiful art. The muralist Chilli Mangos (on Instagram, @chillimangos) painted the entire front of Arte Bella. Here's the front from the left (north) side and the right (south) side:

Next, some closeups. The muralist also painted the underside of the roof… I'll show as much of that as I could fit into my camera:

I took the photos on June 20, 2022.

Update (November 15, 2022): There's More arte bella behind Arte Bella.

Paint for Pets

On 1st Avenue just south of Glenn is Pet Doctor:

That mural is on the north-facing wall. Here's a photo of just the mural, followed by close-ups of the left and right ends:

There's a mural on the wall's other (south) side too:

I drove by on June 22nd.

Update (June 9, 2023) from Jerry Peek: I found finished versions of this mural in BG Boyd's Tucson Murals database, tucsonazmurals.com. He gave me permission to edit the first photo below so it shows the same area as David's. The overall photo at the end is directly from BG's site.
