From the mind of Ron Casper. He has several murals on the Sarnia Flea Market building, and last week I saw a truck with his work on it as well. I could have sworn I posted something of his before but I my previous citynoise entries and found nothing. He also has, or at least had, several murals in Downtown London, Ontario in the early 2000's or late 1990s. I took the below photographs while walking downtown, passing the flea market was the following messages: Do people still have printers that use that kind of paper? Facinating thought all...

Exotic Slurpee Plant?

author: zagg : Sarnia, ON

For nearly two years I've lived in my house, and today I noticed something different about my front hedge. It appears that it is not just any regular hedge, but actually a rare Slurpee plant! I've taken a photo of the strange fruit that I found for all you botany fans: What genus do you think it is? Seriously kids, littering is not cool.

Do Not Feed the Ducks or Alligators

House of Ivy

author: zagg : Sarnia, ON

Run-down house covered in ivy. This house was up for sale but the sign is gone, if it sold I can only guess it was purchased for the lot.
