Had a really nice experience coming across the art on the electric box in Clearwater. It is a small…read morebut creative piece of public art that adds a lot of character to an otherwise ordinary street corner. The design is colorful, detailed, and does a great job of turning something simple and overlooked into something interesting to look at. It is one of those little touches that shows how much the city cares about public art and making everyday spaces more visually appealing. It is a quick stop, but definitely worth pausing for if you are walking or driving through the area. The only reason it is not a full destination is simply because it is a smaller piece and does not take long to see, but it still leaves a positive impression. Overall, a cool and creative addition to Clearwater's public art scene. Easy 4 stars.

My current favorite is on the Tampa Street side of the Muay Thai building in the Tampa Heights District. There you will find a mural of Kobe Bryant and his daughter with a golden basketball hoop behind them acting as a halo. In the corner it says "Daddy's Girl" and I must admit I got a little choked up looking at this beautiful tribute: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/murals-of-tampa-florida-tampa?select=IS0P_Qus875FnNCE9PQ-TQ Also in this same area is a cluster of other murals, one of which is of Lady Gaga where online I found an Instagram Dance Team doing a routine for a video: https://www.instagram.com/p/BeeWEigHLxT/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=e569abf8-2cec-4bc5-8f06-3a7ff32bc8e0 The south facing side of the Muay Thai build also has a collage of murals as well as the wall outside Café Hey on the corner of East Kay and North Franklin Street. FINAL THOUGHTS Tampa is practically a second home for me, so I will update with more murals as I find them. My sincere hope is that some of the awesome Tampa Yelpers who also appreciate street art will add more photos to this page as they become available. 2021 / 94

I hope one day they can convince the entire neighborhood to do it. I like the music play and light are dancing. The dance with sequence with three houses combine are amazing. I have seen nothing like this. The light extended to the trees, roof and the ground cover. They have laser light shooting to the floor. Make this a party place.
