A Deco Delight

 

 I have always loved this Art Deco style apartment building on Eglinton Ave. Built in 1939, it looks like a place that Poirot would live in don't you think?

Naming The Lanes

 The city has a program where the laneways are being given names that are relevant to their neighbourhood and Reggae Lane has been given official status as you can see from the sign. The stoplights there mark the corner of Oakwood & Eglinton Aves and you can see evidence of some of the construction in the area which is ongoing.

Reggae Lane

This mural marks the entrance to Reggae Lane which is found running behind the businesses in Little Jamaica along Eglinton Ave near Oakwood Ave. It is a very vibrant area that has been under stress for several years as a result of the construction of a LRT line along Eglinton but it still survives. There are many barber shops, shops and restaurants catering to the Jamaican Canadian community. The artist for this one is Adrian Hayles. There are always cars parked here so the bottom is blocked a bit.

Bees At Work

I was driving along Eglinton Ave in the Mount Dennis neighbourhood and passed this wonderful mural of bees and flowers. Of course I made a fast turn and went back to catch a pic of this beauty. The colours of the flowers were such a treat to see at this dull time of year. The artist for this one is Nick Sweetman whose work I have shown before. I love it! I will give you a peek of the section around the corner to the left tomorrow.
