East River Mural

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

East River Mural

Look at the East River Mural! It is by Artist David Maldonado and it features the bayou, bluebonnets, beehives and a space city astronaut. It was inspired by the surrounding Historic Fifth Ward and East End neighborhoods.

Learn more about the East River Mural, HERE.

The mural is large, covering six stacked shipping containers. You can find it easily from Clinton Drive or Jensen Drive… and you can find free parking on Clinton Drive.

We went in the afternoon and had no trouble parking or walking over to the shipping containers. There is a lot of new development happening in the area, so the parking signs could change as people move it. (So just check the signs!)

The mural is set back from the street, so you are away from car traffic. There is not a ton of foot traffic, so just be aware of your surroundings (like I say about everywhere in Houston).

East River is just east of Downtown and might just be one of the funkiest parts of town. Once you are at the mural, you can easily drive by David Adickes Studio (with lots of giant president heads) or St. Arnold’s Brewery (with root beer, food… and beer).

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
