Texa Tonka murals were on the plan when we went to visit Gramma on the weekend. Mom has seen these murals at a strip mall many times but always forgets to bring me along to take some photos. This one is on the Erik’s bike shop.
There is an ice cream shop on the other end of the mall that is always super busy. On the weekend it was alternating rain and sunshine all day. The threat of rain kept a lot of people from being out and about, which means, perfect time for some photos. I sat in the chair real quick while Mom too, my photo. It is kind of a funny mural, but I like it, and it says Texa Tonka.
Finally, our favorite mural. This one is painted on the the entire east end of the mall. It is supposed to be covered in reminders of places and things that no longer exist in St. Louis Park. It is big and right on the road, so it is hard to get it all in on shot, but we did our best. I am there, but I sure look small! Mom’s best memory on the mural is the Red Owl. She remembers the one in St. Louis Park, but mainly she remembers what a big grocery chain it was when she was growing up. We love murals, any kind any place. They are fun finds.

The murals are beautiful and huge and they actually make you look small, Bailie!
Compared to the big mural, I am a fly on the wall!

It’s always fun to find a mural or two. These are very well done.
Those murals are most amazing and bravo to the artists!
We can’t imagine creating such a thing.
It’s cool that your past is documented on a mural n

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I l am a big fan of murals….and a bit envious of the talent it takes. My creative gene is in sewing and crocheting. I’ve always wanted to draw/paint. Thank you and Mom for taking me along

Thanks. We all love the bright fun ones.
What grand murals! That is a really nice way to keep memories of the history of the place.
We love the memories it keeps alive. Such a fun idea.
You find (or have!) the most beautiful and artistic places in your home town!
The Twin Cities are known for the arts, so I guess it is no real surprise. It is so normal for us, we don’t notice it all.
Murals are fun finds. Thanks for sharing these!
They are and we need to do another mural tour in the city one of these days.
They look awesome
We really like the big one.
How cool are those murals?! And you posed so wonderfully there.
Thank you. The big one is really interesting.
