Look what I found for Georgiann, a street art pigeon! It’s just a tiny little bit of art, hiding in a corner in a alley. Anyway, it’s for her and if you click on it, you will be transported to her blog via pigeon magic.

Seems like chicks and “Chicklets” alike are for kids, and kids are very cool.

Even the stupid tag on this side doesn’t ruin it, for me. I hope the kids who see it everyday are inspired by the art, and not the vandalism. I’m hoping Uber 5000 comes back and touches it up.
What I love about this mural is that kids helped to paint it.

I’ll be sending it through ground mail. It will be a small investment, that I believe will do a big good.

All Charities are not Created Equal! It’s easy enough to research & find the good guys. Here are a few I respect, after doing some research.
Canadian Big Brothers and Sisters scored 4 stars or an “A” rating from various groups.
President Obama & First Lady Michelle Obama launched Let Girls Learn.
A society free from sexual and other forms of exploitation against children and women. Anuradha Koirala, founder of Maiti Nepal was a CNN Hero in 2011. A visit to the site is only for the strong of heart.
Helps more than children, but they help a lot of children They have 4 star ratings, and one website gave World Vision Canada a “B”
In a lane off Wellesely is this very pretty, but wildly eroded mural.
I’ve never seen paint peeling like this before. It was literally hanging like curled and colorful Post-it notes across a 40 ft. wall.
Had I found this when it was fresh, it would have been a 3-part post. This is all that was left to take pics of. I considered taking a shot of the peeling paint, but alas, I couldn’t bare to be reminded of what I’d missed out on.
