Each Monday, we bring you some of the popular posts from our sister blog, Spacing Montréal. We’ll keep an eye open for topics and discussions that are pertinent to current public space issues in Toronto.
• Get your sea legs on and hit the pavement. A little nautical-themed graffiti by Montréal street artist Roadsworth ties a big bowline through the community of Saint-Pierre.
• In last week’s Tree Tuesday feature, resident arbor-enthusiast Bronwyn Chester reflects on an ash that had an exceptionally long-life for a city tree, and its untimely demise.
• For those of you whose writing hand is aching in anticipation for the Coalition to fall and have an election called in six weeks, at least we have the Provincial edition (french) of the long running Creatively Vandalized Election Signs for you to get your fix.

I love Roadworths’ work. I have to say I was a bit disappointed by this project though. The concept is interesting and has potential – I just think the execution is a bit boring. And as some people pointed out on the Montreal blog, it will probably get covered soon by other tags and graffitis. When some phenomenal street art appears somewhere in the city, street artists will usually respect the work and leave it as is. In this case, I don’t think it is phenomenal enough to guarantee its survival…
