Born to Fly

Pups on Broadway
This series of murals feature five fur friends from Corpus Christi! Take your pup on an outdoor adventure and enjoy the neighborhood walk to these murals at 401-457 N. Lower Broadway St.
Fair is Fair
To the naked eye, random shapes spell out the words “Corpus Christi” but when viewed with a red lens the message changes to read “Fair is Fair.” This phrase comes from the film “The Legend of Billie Jean", a mid-1980s cult classic film that was shot in Corpus Christi. Check out this colorful homage to a classic movie at 310 N. Mesquite St.
