There's a Día de los Muertos mural, full of playful skeletons, on Starr St. in downtown Corpus Christi.

I have a collection of those little Dia de los Muertos skeletons..skeletons driving a car, all decked out as a groom and bride with "just married" on the back of the car, one custom made one of a skeleton with a staff, skeleton bar patrons, skeleton Dentist. etc...

It's just Sainte Muerte with whom I have a problem..I guess I see the playful skeletons as a cultural remembrance, and Sainte Muerte as glorifying death as in the narco-trafficante subculture.

Also, I don't have a problem with Dia de los Muertos stuff outside of a Church, but hate seeing Dia de los Muertos altars set up inside of Churches.
