I also love this mural. I don’t know it’s name, but it honors the legacy of East Boston’s Donald McKay, the builder of the famous clipper ships. This mural has aged very well and has a yellow patina that is reminiscent of antique paper. Located on Grove Street, between Bremen St. and Orleans St. East Boston. By the Boston Natural Areas Network Youth Conservation Corps. 2007.

I love this mural, but I don’t know what it’s called. It resembles type records found in botanical field guides, in this case, the plants depicted are those found along the Greenway.

Maurice J. Tobin School in Roxbury. By Caleb Neelon. 2010. I think this is one of the best murals i’ve seen in Boston. I’ve seen many, but we need more awesome ones like this one. Ugly walls are PLENTIFUL all we need is the City of Boston to vamp up it’s mural program.
