On Calle 16, 16th Street between McDowell and Thomas Roads
This year's Jane's Walk was hosted by Taz Loomans and Hugo Medina, and explored the emerging cultural district along Calle 16 (16th Street). The purpose of Jane's Walk (a nationwide phenomenon) is to promote walkable cities and build understanding of the urban fabric.
The tour started at Way Cool Hair on McDowell, featuring an enormous mural by Jorael Elliott and Jesus Rodriguez.
