Blog's Third Birthday
It's amazing to me that it has been 3 years since I started this blog not knowing what I was doing and here I am still loving it and doing everything I can not to miss a day (only 2 days missed). It seems suitable to have this post on the day of Monday Murals since exploring for murals has become a real pleasure for me. This mural is another from the Islington neighbourhood and was done by artist John Kuna in 2006. Titled "Timeline, Islington Then & Now" it shows Dundas St as it was in the early 1900s on the left side and how it looks now on the right. Down the middle, runs an assortment of cool cars from the 50s.

ReplyDeleteHey! Congratulations! Three years with only two misses is quite a record. I enjoy seeing Toronto through your eyes, even though your eyes are a bit more contemporary than my traditionalist (old fogey) eyes. Keep on keeping on.
ReplyDeleteLove it ... like a mural I recently saw, the old is in sepia and the new is in color ... just like photographs of old.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteIt can be a challenge to keep posting everyday, but you have a wealth of subjects in TO!
