Congratulations to Nancy Greenlee and Keri Ramsey for being the first readers to give us the correct location of Friday's "Where in the Valley?" photo.
The mural is on the side of an apartment building on Colter Street west of 16th Street.
State of play: The man in the 1980s-themed mural is Phil Collins, which is fitting since the apartment complex is called Collins Off Colter.
It was painted in 2023 by local painter and muralist Ryan Rodriguez.
Zoom out: Rodriguez told Axios Phoenix he's done murals for businesses at Epicenter in Gilbert and has an upcoming project with the Garage-East wine bar.
He mostly creates murals but has done canvass commissions for the Troon Country Club clubhouse and a lot of logo work for local small businesses.
You can check out Rodriguez's art on his Instagram page.
1 big omission: A belated congratulations to Barb Martin and Matt McGrath for giving us the correct location of last week's "Where in Arizona?" pic, which was the Children's Garden at Foxglenn Park in Flagstaff.
