SPUD PHiL SiLENT bird...

Okay. So I've been meaning to put this photo up for a while. This is what Bobby and I see on our way to work.

Some things I find interesting about this picture are:
1. This is where the Queen West fire occurred.
2. During the fire clean up we saw stereo systems, furniture, dvd's, clothing, etc. get ripped apart and thrown around by heavy machinery (I can't think of their names right now...but you know...the claw one) just behind the heavily signed boards.
3. Looting got so bad in the wreckage that police camera's got installed (see white thing on the light post).
4. The camera's didn't deter the graffiti artists...it seemed to inspire them. There is heavy tagging around the inside parimeter of the fired area. My favourite piece is the "SPUD PHiL SiLENT bird..." which was done with a paint roller just out of the sight line of the police camera.
