Mosaic Mural

Walking along Danforth Avenue a few weeks ago, I spotted some activity inside the "Bus Terminal Restaurant". It has been closed now for over  a year, and it looks like they might re-open.

This week, Marcia and I were getting off the Coxwell bus and decide to have a late breakfast. So I suggested checking out the Bus Terminal Restaurant, nearby.
Despite the recent renovations, they have kept the dragon and some photos of movie stars.
I was also pleased to see that the old food sign showing the 50's prices, was still intact.

The place was clean, food was good; and once sated, we headed back to the subway.
As we were leaving, I stopped to read a poster on the fence beside the restaurant. It describes the mural that was created by volunteers and students from the area.

According to the City of Toronto web site, the mural celebrates the life and spirit of the local community. The quote at the bottom from Agnes McPhail reads: "We meet all life's greatest tests alone".

It runs from the entrance way on Strathmore Boulevard, then south beside the Coxwell Subway Station, around the corner and along the north perimeter of the parking lot on Danforth Avenue.
Here are some pictures of the mural with its mosaic images.

This certainly beats having to look at all sorts of graffiti that has marred the area. Perhaps, as a result, the walls and fences will be kept a little cleaner.
Kudos to all those folks involved in the project!
