Selena, the queen of Tejano music, was a big icon to the Corpus Christi community. Every time we go to Corpus Christi we stop by the memorial. It is located right on the bay. The statue is of Selena wearing an outfit she wore to the Tejano Music Awards. I understand that due to the high traffic of the area,... More

Not much to see. I think her music was fine but making her an icon is just silly. Family just trying to keep her memory alive for monetary reasons. Visited her grave and it was in shambles. Totally unkept and left uncared for.. I am sure she was a nice person but there has to be someone more deserving in... More

Nice statue, it has meaning. But it is a shame the Corpus Christi Downtown is so run down, lack of leadership and vision. I was born and raised in Corpus, there is so much to fix in Corpus. I still visit but stay on Padre

I also live here in C.C., like a few of the other reviewers here. The statue is just that- a statue. She's simply leaning against a column with a leg up, while showing off her "fashion bra". Unoriginal and doesn't give a true representation of who she was. If she was in a pose, say, singing into a mic, or... More

I live in C.C. People act like the statue is a god or something. But if you want to go look at this watch out for seagulls crapping on you. Dont mind the trash blowing everywhere. And sorry about your cars alignment. We dont know how to manage the city to fix the streets. But we are going to screw... More

The Mirador del Flor, or ''Lookout of The Flower'',is a life-size bronze statue of Selena located at the Peoples Street ''t head'' on Corpus Christi's bayfront,and,like the Selena Museum,is a ''must-see'' for fans visiting her beautiful hometown.
