At 445 Chalmers Avenue in Winnipeg there is a very large second-hand store; The Kildonan MCC Thrift Shop.
Two sides of the building have been painted into one mural. I started at the street side of the building and made a Slideshow around into the parking lot. The pretty hippie under my text is the final shot of the sequence.
It’s on the sweet side.

Anti-climactic, yes… but no! Turning the corner reveals smaller treasures.
All good things end, and this pic is the end of “Graffitification”.

On the left end of the “lode wall” was this Beauty Queen and her Runner-up.
Oh no! There’s an anti-climax around the corner?

Here’s a POV of the “lode wall” looking toward Higgins.
It felt like Sunday dinner, and I was about to over eat!
And the green rat

Across Higgins Avenue, the art is as good or better.
I just must show-off this cute bit of G-Art before revealing,
The sister wall beside it! Take a look at this lode!
I’d like to take a moment here to thank my driver, Sherrie.
Because of the most beautiful & wonderful Sherrie & her Red-Rocket, I was able to photograph over 120 of the murals in Winnipeg in several weeks.
Here’s Sherrie in the Rocket on the first side of Higgins.

Higgins Avenue is just behind me. I was not able to do this indent shot in a way I liked. These are my best shots of the Big-Mouth-Dude.
This is the sidewall going into the indent wall.

When I reached Higgins Avenue, I turned and captured the paintings from the other angle. Looking the other way down the alley, it’s another wanton view!
My favorite piece was the centerpiece.
Here is a different close-up from the one in “Pretty Girls” posted Feb. 2013.
