Kingsway Royal – Fin

On June 17, 2018 By ResaIn Murals, Underpasses23 Comments

The last part of Kingsway Royal includes a York County coat of arms.

It is on the bridge over the river where this man fishes.

Beyond the bridge is bucolic imagery of the area.

Many renditions of this type of home is still found in well kept order in this area. It is dark in the underpass, so they have these lights to help us see. I thought the way the capture of the light mixing with the tree is interesting.

Playing beside the house, and peeking around a tree are 2 children. The tree is on a corner of the underpass. the boy is on one side.

The girl is on the other side.

Robert Home Smith was a real person who was important to this area.

Here’s the 2nd half of the west side, & 1st half of the east side of the underpass mural.

To the right of the stone entrance marker, with planter flowers (last pic, previous post), there is road with a strip mall to the right.

Notice anything about the name of the cafe?

Next to the cafe, there is an apartment building. A man walks his dog.

Across the street, we enter the east side of the tunnel.

Kingsway Royal 1

It’s a nostalgic mural of the Kingsway Royal York area, in an underpass.

Let me back up to the beginning. It starts with a park.

This mural is not quite 3 years old, and already the rain run-off has left its marks.

The park is at the entrance to the tunnel.

When we enter the tunnel, there is a street with a theater,

…a bakery…

… a bank & couple other businesses.

The rest of this side of the underpasses mural is after the planter, for the next post.

Kelly from Maritime Mac did an article on Sussex, New Brunswick.

Turns out it’s the Mural Capital of Atlantic Canada.

It’s so great that she discovered these largely historical murals.

Click on the pic below & see the entire post on Sussex.

Kelly’s blog is filled with wonderful pics & insights about Canada’s Maritime provinces.

If you’ve ever considered visiting Canada’s Atlantic provinces, you should browse her blog.

You will also find a very interesting trip to Africa that she reports on.

Check out the carousel of mural pics to discover the name of artists, and/or historical relevance.

The WINNIPEG JETS are in the Western Conference final. I’ve been a fan of the “Jets” since 2014. Sherrie has me all wound up!

Artist(s): Michel Saint Hilaire, Mandy van Leeuwen

This mural features the “Golden Jet” Bobby Hull whose slapshot was once clocked at 152.9 km/h. He was the first player in the NHL to sign a million dollar deal.

This mural also features Sherri’s fave, Teemu Selanne, inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame

Selanne Returned to Winnipeg for game six & got a standing ovation!

Bobby Hull & others have also returned to Winnipeg in the heat of the playoffs. “It’s going to be a hell of a game” says Bobby!

Burton, is a much loved son of Winnipeg.

The Great Wall of China

This is a classic style Graffiti Mural. It has an image & writing.

This is part of the Seven Wonders of the World series in Chinatown east.

Recently, Professional Moron posted a book review on the book: The Great Wall of China: by Franz Kafka. Below is an image of the wall that goes with the post. Click on the pic to go to that post.

Many facts about the Great Wall are spelled out in the post, and it definitely worth reading.

The Dirty Bird

Elicsr has built a lovely flirtation into this mural.

In an area of Toronto heavy with street art, Elicsr holds fast his creative style,

…while making some coin doing a commercial mural.

He has put eons into painting the streets & alleys of Toronto.

Oddly enough, The Dirty Bird is a waffles & chicken joint.

I like waffles!

I imagine this is made from fresh frozen strawberries & almond milk. In reality, a classic milkshake.

Lots of maple syrup.

Waffle sandwiches?
