Crystal City City Hall

see Zavala County courthouse

I haven’t necessarily sought out city halls on our journeys – but this modern edifice is an exception.  The reason being the interesting murals that decorate the outside walls.  Crystal City is a center for winter gardening – note POPEYE (spinach) for which the area is especially known.  As such, lots of migrant workers made the area their winter home.  It became known as a center for the beginning of the La Raza movement and migrant worker rights.
