toronto doesnt have that big of a problem with graffiti, queen , spadina china town kesnginton i think the whole vibe of that area is very spiritual and colorful.. i mean the girls like it ford! not the old grumpy tasteles canadian chicks tho (if that wat ur into Ford)…. you walk into kensinton and theres tons of scribles and bombs (from people with a great artistic background) its a great feeling its like your walking on a canvas once you take that away youll have no feeling.. a depression and when depression hits things go bad… other than that going on king street there isnt much graffiti there same with uptown its pretty regular area i dont notice to much..toronto wanted a newyork uve got it! maybe the subways were a bad idea bud
