Dr. Charles E. Urdy Plaza
Urdy Plaza sits at the corner of East 11th Street and Waller Street, just east of Interstate 35. Named for Dr. Charles E. Urdy, a professor and community leader, the plaza includes a clock tower, open paved plaza, greenspace and a few park benches. However, the centerpiece of Urdy Plaza is a bright, colorful tile mural entitled "Rhapsody" (streetside) and "Sankofa" (parkside) a mosaic mural of tile, glass, and metal.

Only the "Rhapsody" mural is visible from the street.
