There used to be this birdo mural (aka Jerry Rugg) on the northeast corner of Borden and College….
It’s gone now; replaced by this painting:
There are a few animals such as this blue bull in the mural with a lot of textual stuff.
below: There is also what looks like a little green humanoid squatting in the corner. Are those UFO’s in the mural as well?
below: Across the street is another animal theme mural; this time, it’s pink pigs.
Just north of College Street, Cyril Lane runs east from Borden. Back in April 2015 I posted about some of the street art that I saw in Cyril Lane. There haven’t been too many changes in 6 1/2 years but I thought that I would ‘update’ the photos from this lane just the same.
below: I think it’s still trying to say something – and has been since before April 2015.
below: These two people date from the summer of 2015 and you can see what they looked like when new in this blog post (click). I am not sure if the paint was purposely removed from the eyes or if that was an area more prone to peeling.
below: Also from the summer of 2015 (there are actually 3 men in the mural):
