Rather uncommon find, a TTC bus route immortalized in a mural. This is only the 2nd such mural I've encountered with a bus on it. Seems this memorialization is not just reserved for streetcars.

Thought, I would have guessed 72 Pape would get such honours.

Urban farming.

For the last few years there has been a series of planters someone has left on the street allowance on Sheppard Ave.

They've planted onions & chives, fenced it off & actively tend to it. If there ever was a use case for a local community garden. This is it.

Trail furniture.

The despoilment of natural spaces in the city never ceases to amaze me. Thought these dumped trail couches does add some quirky character to the area they inhabit.

An almost living room vibe in the bush.

Today in Absurd Suburbanism.

The Woodside Mall in Agincourt, Scarborough.

Everytime I end up here, I am amazed by the sheer kitsch of the place.

Its got dinosaurs, zoo animals, a volcano, fighter jet, tanks and an attack helicopter on the roof!

How the mighty have fallen. From the King of the Jungle to a dumpster diving alley cat.

The sad faith of a monarch dethroned.

Sometimes the city just offers you intesting things to ponder upon.

Well thats a first.

Someone chained up new lawn lounger to streetcar stop with bike lock.

Cross-sectionality of my personal interests make me think this is someone I could be friends with.

I need to upgrade to lounger from hammock, my relaxation game is lacking
