My Little Angels (on Park Avenue) 15 years later

It was March 9, 2008, when Randy Garsee — who founded this blog — posted Don't Pooh-Pooh Cartoon Murals. (His post titles always made me smile. He was part of the most popular TV news team in Tucson, and he kept viewers smiling.) He wrote: “Neil Amstutz submitted the pictures below and wrote: ‘At Park Avenue and 30th Street is a yellow building with Winnie the Pooh overlooking a dirt lot that may have been for a day care.’” The first photo in that post shows an empty sign at the top left corner of the first photo… In 2017, Google Maps said that the business was named (then, at least) Little Angels Daycare.

On May 14, 2023, I was driving along Park Avenue and remembered the murals. I stopped to take new photos. Now a sign (which was an empty box in our 2008 post) and the top of the building both had the name My Little Angels Daycare. Let's look around — first, the front of the building from the southeast:

Next, along the front of the building from the left (south) end of the previous photo to right (north) end:

Around the yard that's just north of the building, clockwise from the side of the building to the wall north of the dirt playground:

The photo below is the artist's signature, taken from the bottom right of the photo above:

So the mural was painted in 2007, the year before it first appeared on this blog.

Next time, the My Little Angels location on St Marys Road.

Neil Amstutz submitted the pictures below and wrote:

"At Park Avenue and 30th Street is a

yellow building with Winnie the Pooh

overlooking a dirt lot that may have

been for a day care."

On the block wall on the opposite side of the dirt lot

is a long stretch of popular characters that include

Jiminy Cricket, Oscar the Grouch, Dalmations, Huey,

Dewey and Louie, Cars characters, Tigger, Mickey

Mouse, Pinocchio, Pokemon characters and a few others.

The artist's name is written 'by Billy Sanchezs'."

Update (June 11, 2017): Randy had made the intersection (Park Avenue and 30th Street) into a link to a Google map. That link didn't work anymore. So I've put the exact street address in the "Location" line below; If you'd like to see a map, click it.

Also, the most recent Google StreetView, October 2016, shows that the business is named My Little Angels Daycare. That StreetView also shows that the first mural in this blog entry (Winnie the Pooh) was still there. The second mural had been covered with some play equipment and at least one fence.
