St. Pete has gotten a lot of love for its strong murals game, but Tampa is no slouch. (updated)
Here is a link to a map I am building for the Tampa murals. If you have/take pictures of some Tampa murals (or any in the area!) and want to share, please send them to me, JoEllen@WMNF.org, and tell me how you would like your photographer credit to appear, and the location of the mural. Plus I need help identifying the artists of some of the murals.
WMNF has some stories about the murals in St. Pete here, here, and here.
Artist Michael Parker worked with volunteers from HCC and other places to create this mural spanning Adamo Drive on the southern edge of Ybor City. Here is a composite of it, reflecting the faces and times of that storied area.
