We are still in Winnipeg, in the alley behind The Gas Station Theatre building. On the corner, there’s this pretty lady.
When I say she’s on the corner, I mean literally on the corner.
She’s a bit chipped up from the harsh winters since 2006 when she was painted by an unknown artist, but she’s still quite wonderful. I hated to leave, but Sherrie had me on 20 minute allotments per mural.
Oh look, it’s the Sea Bugs along the other side.

Here are the rest of The Gas Station Theatre’s and adjacent plaza’s surrounding planters.
Considering the brutality of a Winnipeg winter, they’ve held up nicely.
The Gas Station Theatre is located at 445 River Ave. Winnipeg.
The Artist is unknown.
The next 2 are the last 2 planters.
There’s lots more art on the alley side! – Next Post –

Done 7 years ago as a beautification project, The Gas Station Theatre’s and adjacent plaza’s surrounding planters were all painted.
Located at 445 River Avenue, the Artist is Unknown
In 2006, the owners of the property were asked not to plant flowers in the planters because criminals were stashing their drugs and weapons in them.
I was there in the fall of 2012. There was enough dead plants in the planters to suggest that the beautification had succeeded and vegetation is once again welcomed.
There’s still lots more!
