Back in 2017 I visited this lane for the first time and I added some photos from that visit on this blog (see Paul Estrela Lane.).   Most of the street art that I saw then is still there.  Some of it has been overgrown like the mural below.  In a month or two some of these waves will be hidden behind greenery.

below: Mural by Caitlin Taguibao, Pre-pupa moment painted in 2018.

Almost two years ago, inthe fall of 2018, a group of artists brightened up Luttrell Loop Lane with some murals.  Luttrell Loop Lane is on Danforth, just west of Victoria Park.
