North Park mural celebrates Alex Morgan!

A mural in North Park celebrates San Diego Wave FC hero and international soccer superstar Alex Morgan. It was painted last year by Ground Floor Murals on the parking lot side of Mike Hess Brewing North Park.

Alexandra Morgan Carrasco played in four FIFA Women’s World Cups, was named U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year for 2012, and was awarded the 2022 NWSL Golden Boot as the league’s top scorer while playing for San Diego Wave FC. She was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in 2019 and 2022.

Alex Morgan was a role model for countless young women in San Diego and around the nation during her outstanding career. She retired in 2024.

I happened to spy this mural for the first time during my walk yesterday.

SAN DIEGO FOREVER

THIRTEEN FOREVER

While walking around the building, I noticed another mural near the entrance to Mike Hess Brewing. It depicts the Georgia Street Bridge, the iconic North Park sign and water tower, and what appears to be a historic streetcar coming down University Avenue!

The fun mural was painted by @inkredibledesign.
