LOOKING FOR ART IN TDOT!

Drove A.T. to school today and headed up to Regent Park. Regent Park is getting a makeover but before that happens an artist took pics of people who lived in the community and enlarged them onto the walls. Must have been last year cause what we saw - generally speaking - was the pics falling apart - but we did get a few that we were able to capture - There was one more that I really wanted to take but with the traffic along Gerrard we had to let it go - It was indeed a more or less prophetic pic as it was a young boy with a basketball shirt on with the number 9 - 9 means - It is Finished. When we got into the centre of Regent Park the bulldozers were already demolishing some of the buildings. Hats off to the artist who did this and all the best to the Regent Park community, holding hands, making it strong, part of Toronto - It will never end. Thank You Regent Park for your patience in this reno. May you have true new beginnings indeed.

Hello Marilyn:)

I love what that artist did. Too bad it's all coming down, but I suppose he/she knew the art would be temporary.

Good night. I hope you don't mind that I found you.

Love the artwork! Is it true that those buildings are going to be torn down?
