The Murals of Leslieville

author: Elicar : Toronto, ON

The murals at Leslieville all have something in common: Graffiti Transformation Fund, Mural Program, Grant Thornton Centre. Both the Graffiti Transfomation and Mural Program fall under Neighbourhood Improvement Grants given by the City of Toronto. "Graffiti Transformation Employs youth for removing graffiti and replacing it with murals, through grants to community organizations. Mural Program Business associations, including community groups that include strong business participation, can receive one-time funding for street banners or wall mural projects that help promote a local theme and facilitate commercial neighbourhood identity." www.toronto.ca/grants/grants_directory.htm#neighbourhood Ralph Thorton Centre on the other hand, is a centre established in 1980 with a "primary purpose...

Walking Home

I work downtown. I live in the Upper Beaches, 10 kilometers away. It is about 10 minutes by car, about 35 minutes by streetcar and about 40 minutes by bus and subway. It is at least 2 hours on foot. I have ventured on walking home lately. Sometimes, I am quite motivated; sometimes, I hop on the streetcar midway. Downtown, Corktown, Riverdale, Leslieville, The Beach, Upper Beaches. That's my route. My starting point; BCE Berczy Park Flatiron Building at Wellington and Front St. James Church on King Street East A manual water pump across the street Little York Hotel, built 1879-1880; a heritage building Parliament and King At...

Not So Green...

author: Michelle : Toronto, ON

Last night was Earth Hour. From my balcony I looked out on a noticeably dimmer Don Valley. HOWEVER, one bright light that met my eyes came from the Evergreen Brick Works. Wow - pretty bad display folks. One hour and you couldn't even dim your lights. On their website they claim to be all eco-friendly... "Our mission is to bring communities and nature together for the benefit of both... We believe that local stewardship creates vibrant neighbourhoods, a healthy natural environment and a sustainable society for all." I really don't believe that Evergreen is all that dedicated since they were BLAZING all...

Spotted at Victoria Park, between Kingston Road and Queen Street East, on my way to the Easter Parade. And this woman was screaming something from her window, right after the last float (Easter Bunny) passed by. The only word I caught was "LAKEFRONT." She watched the entire parade and said her piece at the end. She can be seen at the same window in some of the pictures in Toronto Beaches Lions 42nd Easter Parade.
