Seemingly painted in 1996, the artist Ryan Dineen has kept this mural in lovely condition.
Located in Cabbagetown, the mural has been well documented in its many years of life.
The cabbages look like big, fat green roses to me. The apple temptation, well, what do you think?

Winnipeg celebrates Canada’s Icelandic settlers, the first arriving in 1873-75, in this gorgeous mural.
They originally settled in Gimili, Manitoba, about one hour from Winnipeg.
Depicted below, the Vikings from Iceland came around 896 AD , but were not able to survive at that time.
Located at 536 Ellice Avenue, this well kept mural was painted in 1999.
Here’s the story!
As mentioned in the above Saga, Charlie Thorson, “Cartoon Charlie” second generation Canadian, became a famous animator responsible for many characters, including “Bugs Bunny”.

MIKE’S GENERAL STORE Face 4.
In 2011, a painting of this Steve McQueen – Bullitt – movie poster was added onto an outcrop.
Here is the side, originally done in 1999, with the 2011 addition. The prairie sun was my usual foil.
Steve McQueen was the epitome of cool! He was only 50 when he passed away from Mesothelioma.

MIKE’S GENERAL STORE: Face #2. At 52 St. Anne’s Road, you can sell or you can buy Vintage Collectables.
This part of the mural seems vintage 1950’s or 60’s.
The store was closed on the Easter weekend day I was there, otherwise I would have gone in and tried to meet Mike or Barb.
OMG! It looks like “CHARLIE CHAPLIN” is peeking around the corner of Face 3..

MIKE’S GENERAL STORE IS A WINNIPEG FIXTURE.
Face 1 of 4 starts with “Keith Richards”. This vintage store weaves its fab mural around 3 sides of a building.
it appears “Neil Young is also on the scene.
It’s about vintage records, and Neil has discovered a “Guess Who” album. In 2011 when Keith & Neil were added to this mural mostly painted in 1999, the famous Winnipeg band was also very vintage.
Face 2 is next up on GLaM!
This sweet image is on a small indent wall, and intros’ Face 2.
