Every once in a while someone sends me an image of a mural or some graf they’ve captured.
So I present to you, fresh from Philadelphia & Bill’s research, a gorgeous mural honoring a group of Black Airmen who overcame great prejudice to fly planes during world war II –
The artist is Marcus Akinlana. The mural was dedicated on June 14, 2009, part of the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program.
Bill has 2 interesting Blogs.
Bill, it’s so sweet that you have thought to send this pic in! Resa xo

Back alley south of Queen Street West between Spadina and Bathurst, Zena & I documented some rich doors.
Can you find ZENA in this doorway?
HINT: This is what it looks like without her.

One side…

A Special “Happy Thanksgiving” to all my American friends!
This Historical Mural in Islington Village imparts to me the feeling of waiting for the delicious meal mother has begun cooking. I find this mural full of pioneer spirit, and family value which I send to you in lieu of a mural depicting an actual Thanksgiving feast.
This 2-storey high mural is on a house on a hill. That was a challenge for my IPhone!
