On a N/S side alley off the main alley running E/W from Spadina to Bathurst on the S/side of Toronto’s famous Queen Street West, there seems to be some tunes happening.

Side Alley Sally’s Alley
I’v shown you Sally coming from the west (main alley), looking south along a side alley.
Here’s the same side alley from the south, looking north.
Sally’s alley is more Graffiti and less art than some.
The “G” spot is half way along.
Then we find Sally at the alley’s intersection. What you see at the end of the next alley is Queen Street West. Welcome!

In my fav Golden Mile of alleys, south of Queen W. and in the Spadina to Bathurst corridor find Mickey and his pals.
A colourful a bunch as you’ll ever meet.

Popeye, Beside & Behind
On Dufferin Street, south of Queen W. W. I noticed Graffiti behind construction vehicles blocking an alley.
I found Popeye beside some Graffiti Art.
Behind Popeye are the clapboards surrounding yet another Toronto condo project. They must have recycled the boards from a previous project, as the Graffiti was non-sensical.

Metrolinx Rail Corridor
Before I finish posting the Winnipeg Mural – 1812 – I’m posting these (not my best pics, but very interesting) of Canada’s largest Graffiti Mural. Ann from Ann Graphics is doing a paper on Graffiti and would like to see a few of the shots I’ve taken.
Please know that most of the time I am shooting across a ginormous section of tracks, and half the time I’m shooting into a blazing sun. I’ve got hundreds of yucky pics.
So, for Ann and the rest of you, here’s a quick tour via Slideshow. Each pic is numbered below itself to correspond with my commentary.
ONE – This panting is at the top of the beginning of the commissioned murals.
TWO – The view directly across the rails from ONE, which is Graffiti not commissioned by the city, but may be paid for the the private property it graces.
THREE – SIX is looking to the left, where you can see a decade of rogue graffiti. This is just the tip of the graffiti ice-berg Toronto is trying to get rid of. I’ve recognized at least one of the tag artists as part of the ensemble hired to do the Graffiti Mural.
SEVEN – I’ve gone a half block north to Queen Street in order to cross East under the tracks so I can view from the other side.
EIGHT – TWELVE are views of the reclaiming project on the sound wall.
THIRTEEN – At the south end I go West under the King Street tracks to view the project from the south end. I will be going back to finish my work!
