July 2014 - Toronto ON
Graffiti alley: The colourful murals that run in the alley south of Queen St. W. have so far escaped Mayor Rob Ford’s war against worthless graffiti — and it’s no wonder why. The street art that runs west of Spadina Ave. all the way to Portland St. brightens up an otherwise dank and dirty concrete lane with colourful images and words.
Ford can say what he likes but turning down this alley is a glorious burst of colour and talent.
It's a flourish of colours! I particularly like Tom and Jerry.
ReplyDeleteWith luck, all three members of that repugnant family running for office will be turfed out in a few days, though I'm not expecting the best for that council seat since the Fords seem to get away with anything in their own ward's voters' eyes.
I'm due for a stroll down there!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait for the election to arrive!
Maybe Doug Ford will take a different view of the graffiti/art? ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove this laneway - so much to see!
These are wonderful!!! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteWow, Yellow Bird, yellow fish and all manner of other appealing images. This alley is a treasure trove. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
