Almost two years ago I wrote about the murals and street art on Bulwer street. Somethings have changed and some of the murals have disappeared. For instance, the area bounded by Bulwer, Soho and Queen streets is now a construction site instead of a parking lot. I walked here yesterday, a holiday Monday, and discovered that there were no parked cars blocking views of the street art. I also discovered a tour group stopping to talk about something on the street but I was too far away to hear what they were talking about (something about bricks on the buildings?)
below: An unobstructed view of the David Suzuki and Atlantic salmon mural by Kevin Ledo, painted in 2016 as part of the “Love Letters to the Great Lakes” mural project.
below: The mural, a collaboration between Elicser and Indigo, hasn’t fared as well. As you can see, the bottom portion has sadly been tagged over.
below: Part of a mural by horus.
below: A 2017 creation by sightone, breakin’ atoms, a memorial to Vandel.
below: A collection of items attached to the schoolyard fence. Metal pans and a shoe form?
below: The CN Tower, a metal staircase, and some graffiti. The back building looks very old, especially the windows.
below: Another bit of “old” is this Toronto Hydro building with its very high fence and gate. Is it still in use?
One last little bit – this stikman is still here – weathered but still standing. Once upon a time he was covered with a circuit board design but that layer has peeled away. Aging but ageless.
