Had a leisurely walk around Humboldt Park today and took a few snaps of some of the murals

Mural painted on an outdoor wall including several large faces, a Chicago style hotdog, and a bowl of spaghetti-o’s

A mural painted on an exterior brick wall with images of a face, rope, gold chain, and a purple ring (maybe a pool float?)

A mural on an exterior brick wall showing the Paseo Boriqua Street Flag and a very long text describing its meaning and origin- it’s about the convergence of Puerto Ricans in Chicago and the history of that migration as well as the history of PR
