"Texas native who had NEVER been to this mural, so it felt like a must-do during my last visit to Austin.
while I agree it is cute! it was definitely underwhelming 😅 its a simple wall with simple words but maybe that's what adds to the beauty and allure of it. On the plus side, it is in the middle of a busy street with lots of shops nearby! if you're in the area, then its worth it to get that insta-pic but I wouldn't drive cross county or state for it."
MJ
"Definitely a nice spot for people from out of town to take pictures on. There was no line when we went to take pictures of the mural as it was 4pm. The surrounding area is also nice with shops and restaurants. It is on the high end though so just be aware of that."
Anna Seno
"The mural stands beautifully after so many years and is truly iconic. Great place to take a photo on South Congress!"
