As many of us peek our heads out of quarantine and cautiously venture out, many of our nomal ways to enjoy recreation around the city right now are modified, or in some cases even postponed. I’m personally looking for ways to get out, like nature hikes and visiting areas that are less-traveled and while remaining socially distant.

It occurred to me a new photo spots hunt could be just what we all need at the moment, as it’s something you can do with little interaction with other people.
I compiled a new list murals as some new ones have appeared around town, as well as a few I just never got around to adding to my list.
Of course, this list isn’t just street art, but anywhere I think you can make a memorable photo happen.

You’ll also find some local businesses listed near each photo spot. While not all may be fully open at this time, do your best to patron any of them in some way while you are out, or bookmark for a later date.

The East Tattoo Mural

Artist: Earl Funk

Location: Virginia and Orange on the side of the East Tattoo building.

What to know: The artist who painted this mural is actually a co-owner of this tattoo shop. He also has three other murals in this area, including one inside the parlor. This is a parking lot, so watch out for cars, and to get a glimpse of the wall when it’s not busy, your best bet it to visit when the shop is not open.
