Luis Mena’s mural covers the front, the doorway, curves around to the side, and overflows onto the overhang of the building at 142 E. Pennington St. Just 7-feet high but an impressive 83-feet long, it includes blossoms, birds, a mariachi and a deep blue background that pulls you in and cools you off. It’s a colorful celebration of the Latino culture in Tucson, and practically shimmers with energy thanks to the glitter the artist added in strategic spots. Look up to the overhang to catch his celestial and ghostly drawings.
