Simple corner in South Tucson: 29th at 8th

South Tucson is a mural hotspot. To get an idea, open our mural map (click “Mural map” in the right column of any page or go to map.tucsonmurals.org). Then scroll to, say, the corner of 29th Street and 6th Avenue… and look at all the pins.

There are elaborate ceramic tile murals on main streets. On both main streets and side streets are some spectacular painted murals; we'll see new ones later this week. There are also intersections painted with murals you can see by looking down at the pavement, and intersections like the one below with murals on the corners. Take a tour someday: Bring the mural map and wander… you can click on a map pin to see what mural you might find there. (Note that we can't keep the map perfectly up to date because murals change constantly… though we try! If you have a correction, please email us from the contact form in the right column. For any missing mural, we'll change the red pin to a yellow scissors… you can click the scissors to find what mural used to be there.)

There are three corners with simple murals surrounding the corner of 29th Street and 8th Avenue. Google Maps Street View shows the corners without murals in January 2021, so these were painted in the past four years.

The northwest corner:

The northeast corner:

The southeast corner has little dusk desert scenes that are hard to see in the overall photo. So I also took photos of just the left and right sides:

I was there on September 17, 2024, to see a lot of murals in the neighborhood. More next time.
