St. Thomas Aquinas Mural at the University of St. Thomas

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Address: 3909 Graustark St, Houston, TX 77006

We’ve done so many biking/running/walking/cartwheeling laps around the University of St. Thomas campus this Spring, they might just need to add a designated family sidewalk lane for when the college kids get back to campus! 😉

But seriously, the sidewalks have had a lot of little bikes and scooters and it’s a great place for car-traffic-free rides. Right in the middle of campus, on the east wall of Crooker Center is a mural by Artist Mario Figueroa Jr., who goes by Gonzo247.

The mural depicts St. Thomas Aquinas with iconic school symbols: The Labyrinth, the Chapel of St. Basil and the Link-Lee Mansion. Learn all about the mural HERE.

The campus is open to all. There is free street parking all around the campus and by the Menil Collection. (It’s easier to find with school out of session!)

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!
