Off the Beaten PATH in Toronto, Canada

If you find yourself strolling through Toronto’s popular PATH keep your eye(s) open for the Metro Hall entrance. That’s the area in which you will find this large mural. What you make of it is up to you. That’s how art works, people.

What is the PATH? It’s 17 miles of underground tunnels filled with shopping, entertainment and things to do — and best of all, heat. Going underground during the winter makes Toronto the groundhog of metropolitan markets, and also pretty smart.

Angels in Gastown

I’m having a difficult time figuring out what the angel in this public mural is doing to the man (soldier?), but I know it looks awesome.

This piece of art is located near Waterfront Station in the Gastown area of Vancouver, BC. Gastown is named after “Gassy” Jack Deighton, which as far as nicknames go, kind of stinks. But apparently he was well thought of, hence Gastown.

The area is known for fashion, boutiques, touristy stuff and its nightlife. None of which, as far as I can tell, are gas-related.

Montreal is a city that brims with beauty, history and charm. You can see these elements everywhere you move but there’s no area more quintessential for Montreal history and landmarks than the Old Montreal neighborhood.  Called Vieux Montreal in French, this area displays all the European flavor and old world history that Montreal is noted for.
