Random murals languishing in my archives.

MURAL UPDATE

This is what this wall used to look like in 2019.

Riverside Broadview Ave

Alquimia’ (Spanish for ‘alchemy’) is a mural in a semi-abstract style. Paying homage to the Riverside neighbourhood, the mural is an interpretation of the quote “This river I step in is not the river I stand in” that speaks of the inevitable nature of all things: Alchemy and change. “Everything moves. Everything transforms into something else. It is a connection to the past while celebrating its future, progress and growth of the community,” said artist Jacquie Comrie.

September 2020 - Toronto ON

Discovered along the Danforth last week.

On the far right bottom it says Crossroads. We lived in the east end of the city for 20 years and had not heard this term applied to this area although it is a lot further east than where we typically hung out.

Crossroads of the Danforth BIA was established in 2008. The BIA has been formed on the Danforth between Victoria Park and Scotia Avenue.

Painted by Jacquie Comrie aka the Queen of Colour, a name I have been seeing lately. She is a local artist who has been commissioned to do works around the world.

She was the artist for the Toronto streetcar that I tried so hard to get a photo of when it was doing its limited run.

MURAL UPDATE

September 2020 Spadina and King

This building is an architectural oddity that has survived for over a century, as only half of the structure remains, the other section has been demolished. The Toronto Directories reveal that in 1888, two houses were under construction on the site. The houses were Bay and Gable in style.

As of September 2020 the building now houses a cannabis shop called Blunt and Cherry.

In 2018 it was Bootleg Smokehouse. Sometime in 2019 it was Lazy Bones, a pop up cocktail bar.

This is prime downtown property so I would be surprised if it isn't torn down to make way for yet another condo.
