Yesterday I came across some interesting colourful garage doors on Scarfo Lane that I have not seen before. I didn’t see any signature on them so I don’t know who painted them.
Walking south from Herrick Street…..
and then walking north from Herrick St…..
Looking north from Herrick St.
In February 2014, plans to build a large Walmart store on the site of Kromer Radio (420 Bathurst St., just south of College) were shelved. Kromer Radio was an electronics store and they occupied the building between 1974 and June 2012.
The alley behind the building has been a graffiti site for a number of years.
There is graffiti on the building
including this anti-Walmart statement.
There is graffiti on the garages on the other side of the alley as well.
Again, there is anti-Walmart graffiti including this one that says “Need no Walmart”.
Just a few pictures of some of the street art near Queen St. West and Augusta.

Creatures on walls and garage doors, all seen yesterday between Dundas & Palmerston and College & Bathurst.
David French lane runs between Borden St. and Brunswick Ave., south of Bloor. I know that I have posted some of the graffiti on the garages in the lane before. Most of those garages have since been covered with ugly and boring tags. There isn’t as much of interest there these days…. but I did see the following today.

Ooops, that’s not a woman!

Back in May I posted some photos from a small dead end alley in Kensington.
This past weekend I took some pictures in a different Kensington alley.
Take a look 🙂
Eyes hold a fascination for me.

Graffiti faces seen in alleys and lanes recently.
White bust on a wall near Bathurst subway station. She has been here for quite some time now; it’s good to see that no one has tagged over her

Elephants herd of three, but you can only see two of them in this picture. The elephant on the right didn’t fit in the photo…. but it looked just like the one of the left except it’s facing the other way.
