Your weekend mission, if you choose to accept, is to find an I Love Memphis mural you haven’t yet been to, take a picture of you/you and your pals/your dog with the mural and post it on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter with the tag #ilovememphis.
The I Love Memphis murals project is a collaboration between the I Love Memphis blog, the Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the Urban Art Commission.
