West wall mural at Marshall Street Train Underpass
Apparently the Marshall Street underpass bridge is one of the first of its kind. It was an early railroad underpass that allowed traffic to cross railroad lines. Built in 1920 by the Kansas City Southern Railroad (KCS). For a whole other subculture of 'bridge enthusiasts' see Bridgehunter.com for other rusty structures. Between the two bridges here there is a nice faded and weathered mural, originally designed by Ali Bahler, and painted by several local Shreveport Artists.

World's Only Tattoo School mural
Located on Lake Street, on the east wall of World's Only Tattoo School, at the opposite end of the row of businesses that are nearest the Marshall Street overpass, this very colorful seaside mural blends in with live tropical plants . It is fenced off, but is signed by J.C. Signs & Art.
Worlds' Only Tattoo School is the first tattoo school to be licensed as a trade school. Dr. Pogue, chiropractor, started the school in 1968, and has even had a tv show made of his school. See more about the school at Tattoo-school.com.
