A block-long building that houses a couple of San Marcos businesses including a fried chicken restaurant and a pizza place is also the home of a very long mural.

The mural is the work of Andrey Kravtsov. It includes images that relate to the city, the state and to nearby Texas State University.

The building is on East Martin Luther King Drive between South LBJ Drive and S Guadalupe Street. The mural is on the back side.
