La Pilita 12 years later

I can't believe that the last time we showed this mural-covered spot was August 17, 2012, in the post More at La Pilita Museum. I stopped by again on July 13, 2024. It's not a museum anymore. The museum closed February 1, 2015, as explained in the Arizona Daily Star article Museum that displayed Tucson's lost barrio history closes. The murals haven't changed much.

The little area just south is now called Rosendo S. Perez Park:
Most of the murals are in the back yard. It was closed while I was there, so I used a zoom lens to take photos clockwise from west to north to east. The big mural is by Alaina Pierce, dated 2017 or 2019.
