Peace & Love

At 445 Chalmers Avenue in Winnipeg there is a very large second-hand store; The Kildonan MCC Thrift Shop.

Two sides of the building have been painted into one mural. I started at the street side of the building and made a Slideshow around into the parking lot. The pretty hippie under my text is the final shot of the sequence.

Pretty Girls

but there’s nothing like us pretty girls” (unknown quote)

It has inspired this Post, so Le Drake Noir, this one’s for you!

In the Sexy Mile

On my way back to the car, I cut through a section of the painted alley that runs for almost a mile between Bathurst and Spadina south of Queen Street W., I stop to grab a quick pic.

Q.W. Alley #10

As I pass, I glance up the cross alley that runs north to Queen West. There’s at least 6, maybe 8 more works.  The second one on the left side appears exceptionally appealing to me. I will return to capture each piece.
