This took us 2 whole hours but we had a blast in the spring weather. If you plan on lingering at any location for extra selfie time, plan on spending at least 3 hours. But it’s a great weekend outing for those looking to spruce up their Instagram feed with a little color.

Can you list the locations of the murals, please?
I find it interesting, with all due respect, that the first major mural in the City of Abilene on South 1st, would be photographed in this manner. It’s obvious that someone wanted it to look really bad. No light, where you can see any color or detail. The angle of the shot poor and more. Whoever was behind this project obviously was purposely trying to make the mural look bad, while making all the other murals look great. You can’t cover up truth in history, although a hand full have tried!! That mural was the first in the downtown area to begin the mural explosion that came AFTERWARD. You would think more respect would be paid to it than this. But not surprised at all! You don’t hurt me by doing this. You hurt yourself and more.
