Winnipeg’s MURAL OF THE YEAR 2014
This mural tracks communications from the dial phone until today.
Pay phones are almost vanished from our city-scapes.

I ‘m in luv with the purple tree.
The building, which shows the mural on 2 sides, has an architectural zig-zag. Here’s side 1.

“This is my favorite mural it has no name so I call it “Deadman’s Garden”. It depicts a man growing a plant out of his chest cavity.”
“The man is dead with his head covered. The plant, however, has no flower, but a heart is depicted as being the bloom.”

Bill, from BW Thoughts & BW Fiction sent us this fab historical mural. (worth a click for a better look!)
Circa 1870, Mr Pullman built a town so the factory workers in his factory could have clean air, running water, plumbing & good schools for their kids.
He financed the town with bonds & charged the people rent. The company did all the maintenance and kept the houses, landscaping and parks clean & pristine.
Then came a recession. He cut wages. but didn’t cut rents. This started the rail-road strikes. Pullman was reviled, became called despicable & un-American.
Now, over 100 years later, some of these houses are still in use.

THANK YOU BILL!
And Thank you for allowing me to paraphrase your words!
43 Toronto street artists came together to paint the underpass on Bloor at Dufferin.
It is a very, very long underpass, & the art is on both sides. It is magnificent!
This will be at least a 12 part post, so I will publish guest posts & a couple of book reviews in between.
Might as well start at the beginning. Here’s Cruz1!
I would not be surprised to find out Cruz1 organized this art fest.
