Austin, Texas – For decades, Big Rock, or Chicano Rock, as it is now called – has stood on the southeast corner of Waterloo Park. Created by artist David Santos and members of LUCHA (League of United Chicano Artists) in 1989, the hand-carved limestone sculpture is an ongoing project that has now come to the attention of the city for being in violation of the Capitol View Corridor regulations. In order to keep the sculpture in its current location, the Parks and Recreation Department says it needs to be reduced in height.
