"KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND AND KEEP REACHING FOR THE STARS..."

(Ed.'s Note: Visitors and workers at the City of Brownsville Municipal Court on Levee Street were mystified as to the meaning of the large banner that appeared Tuesday morning over a railing from the second floor. In English, the words translate roughly to "jump upwards when you touch the floor."

Even Ramiro Gonzalez, who just happened to be walking past it when we were there couldn't fathom the meaning. Is is a wellness thing? Or maybe a cardio exercise admonishment for city staff? Or maybe it's a motivational banner to make city staff realize how fortunate it is for them to have a job. Does anyone really know?)

That drawing would not even rate and honorable mention in a street art show. The feet look like another set of hands.

Looks like it could be some anti border wall thing, but if it is, why is the woman crapping out more wall? I have no idea what they are trying to say either. What idiot put it up?

To be fair, Ramiro Gonzalez is an idiot so he wouldn't know the meaning anyway!

She must have a lot of pull with some one in City Hall, there is a lot of better artists, trying to get that kind of exposure.

Looks like somebody is about to have a happy ending, canine-style.

Not trying to be offensive, but I see a wrestler with a giant scrotum.

If the supposed "artist" just wanted to be noticed, she could squat and take a crap in the middle of Elizabeth Street at high noon. That would get her noticed and be as much a work of art as this other pile of crap.

After she climbed the the wall, she touched the US ground and jumped up and praised the Lord? Upper image seems to be raising her hands towards creation, the fence in the middle represents the wall dividing Mexico and the U.S, bottom image is her kneeling on the ground after she climbed over the wall. That's my opinion, but then again I could be wrong.

Please don't taint Nansi's name, Javier. She doesn't need to associated with your sorry ass.
