When I saw this Mini-Mural it was at 34 MacDonald Avenue.

This Mini- Mural by Patrick Ross of the Graffiti Gallery is one of over a half dozen Murals whose locations are planned to be moved around within the neighbourhood.
It’s is amazing how many pics I could take from this wonderful Mural, small as it is.

I am on Main Street dodging cars and sun taking pics of “Mural Of The Year” 2005. I posted one pic only of her before… it was this pic, but there are many more.

The official name is “Welcome to Downtown”

It is an awfully gorgeous Mural. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Again, I am on Main Street dodging cars and sun, so I shot the mural in sections. I present them in order from left to right.


After a scuffle, Semple grabbed the reins of Francois Bouchard’s horse. One called the other a scoundrel, and battle quickly ensued.

The battle lasted 15 minutes. When it was over, Semple and 21 of his men were dead.
