Like many cities in New Mexico, Las Cruces is home to some very artistic residents. Whether you’re driving up and down the main drag (Lohman Ave.) or walking around downtown, you’ll generally stumble upon mural after mural after mural.
The city is especially known for its Water Tank Murals, which are painted by Anthony Pennock (and family).

There’s a bridge along FM 723 that crosses the Brazos River, and every time you cross it to enter/leave the Rosenberg/Richmond area, you see glimpses of oranges, reds, and purples. These glimpses happen to be of the mural on the side of the Hawkins Furniture Co.
I’ve always wanted to see this mural up close since it had always intrigued me. Of course, the colors are what originally drew me to it, but it was Charlie Brown and Snoopy that cemented my love for it.
Chuck and Snoopy are basically the cherry on top of this cool mural for me.
In Downtown Rosenberg, a small town south west of Houston, there’s antique stores lining the streets that people flock to throughout the year.
This past weekend, I visited this area for the first time in close to five years with a good friend of mine. While going from antique store to antique store we spotted a large amount of street art, including this mural. Being a Beatles fan since practically birth, I just had to get some shots in of it and luckily brought my little camera with me.
After scouring the stores and snapping photos of the murals, we also had a late lunch at a cute place called Another Time Soda Fountain. If you’re ever in the area, go try this place out! The patty melt and cherry limeade was so good and I already know i’ll be getting a milkshake next time I visit.
