Defending Improvised Public Art

2006_3_23carving.jpg

The Spacing Wire has been hard at work reporting on the destruction of the sidewalk carvings on King and Simcoe. What Torontoist finds even more interesting is how vocal the comments have been. They've called the city on its callousness in destroying one man's years of hard work, and yet another on the city's blindness to a unique, piece of urban beauty. Matt Blackett gives us an update on it here.

I used to pass the man as he was carving them every morning a few summers ago...! They're just so cool.. and should stay there.
