Canvassing The Neighbourhood
There are two camps when it comes to the postering of utility poles: those who love it (and think it’s a quirk of a vibrant community) and those who hate it (and attempt to legislate against it). Yet, for the latter crowd, it’s still not difficult to find charm in this tiny painting tucked away in a downtown alley known as Alexander Place. It was posted mere steps from this anonymous notice—both examples of how a neighbourhood is defined not just by the way it’s designed, but how its residents contribute to it. And in the case of this miniature canvas, a little goes a long way.
