Hubbard Street - Hubbard Street Murals

Hubbard Street Murals

Running along the south side of Hubbard Street, from Ogden Avenue to Des Plaines Street, is the artwork of the Hubbard Street Mural Project. The murals are painted on the walls of the Metra tracks embankment. Originally begun in the 1970s, the murals have been in the process of restoration or replacement as the Union Pacific Railroad has been making repairs to the concrete structure.

Famous quotes containing the words hubbard and/or street:

    When a fellow says, it hain’t the money but the principle o’ the thing, it’s th’ money.
    —Kin Hubbard (F. [Frank] Mckinney Hubbard)

    And men left down their work and came,
    And women with petticoats coloured like flame.
    And little bare feet that were blue with cold,
    Went dancing back to the age of gold,
    And all the world went gay, went gay,
    For half an hour in the street to-day.
    “Seumas” “O’Sullivan” (1879–1958)
