Street Stories & Signal Box Wraps
🎨 Surprises and stories at every corner!

Downtown St. Thomas is full of hidden gems — even on the traffic signal boxes! As you stroll along Talbot Street, keep your eyes peeled for vibrant art wraps transforming once-drab utility boxes into bright and playful conversation pieces.

But that’s not all — look up and around to spot info panels on historic buildings, quirky landmarks, and surprising local facts. These mini-moments of discovery are a great way to learn something new while you shop, dine, and explore.
