Thats true I don't support tagging, but a lot of the great stuff does have permission there are many legal walls in Toronto.

So after all the back and forth and other BS thats usually abound once the word is even mentioned I thought I would create a thread that is dedicated to the celebration and the ranting that seems to go hand in hand with this controversial "art" form.... here are some links to sites that I...

a friend lived in one of streetcars first development on queen east just west of woodbine, and the building was amazing, the finishes weren'tluxury buy any stretch but was well laid out and because they really deal with smaller sized buildings, the community aspect is outstanding. It was a great...

WOW I never felt old till I saw those Yonge st shots, thats the Yonge I remember as a kid, how distant it feels now. And those shots of St. Lawrence are truly horrific, what the area could really have been. The city fathers of the era, if still alive should hang their heads in shame.

That is exactly what I'm saying and yesI would call those beginnings meager. Most, myself included start off as young teens scraping thier money together to buy paint so they can do what they love. Some are taggers from the beginning and stay that way, others learn the craft and turn it into...

thanks.

Your a tool. so anyway when is the construction on this project to be completed?

Each and everyone of them, myself included, would refer to themselves as a graffiti artist, the style/movement is graffiti.

Yes, that happened to my parents, the tree was deemed to be theirs so the city said that they we're not responsible for the root problem. Our tree is owned by the city and the city has confimed such. What is very interesting is that the forestry dept, came by yesterday to check the health of the...

and again thats the problem when people make sweeping generalizations, to call all graff artists "juvenile, narcissistic, useless criminal vandals" is to illustrate ones complete ignorance. Many have made quite the career from meager beginnings as a graffiti artist.

yes I was made aware of a few of those loop holes by the city, make sure the inspector comes when the hole is open before you remove the pipe. Also who ever does the work must be a city licenced plumber/drain specialist. We've gotten a few quotes, varying based on the work needed. I'll save...

again nobody would defend simple tags on a bridge over pass as anything but. When you see huge murals, that take time and effort, like at the Midas building at Keele/dundas they are in fact legal.

Well said and I agree. The vast majority of the well done pieces that actually take time are in fact legal murals, with the permission of the owner of the property. People seem to have some sort of bias based on the medium.

I'm in no way defending "taggers" but I can smell the sh*t you're spewing through my monitor.

it sucks to get from my place at Leslie and queen to work at 401 mccowan it would take 1 hour 27 minutes, 501 to yonge to bloor to RT to STC, bus north to 401.... the longest way possible

Thanks for your reply..... It seems you are correct, after being juggled from one division to another I was put in contact with someone who mentioned the $2000 rebate, it's on the life of the tree in question and the previous owners already used about $750 of that money, so there is a pot...

Not sure if this is the right section for this, maybe a mod can move it if it's not. So I just bought a new place in Leslieville with a massive tree on the front yard. We knew when we bought the property that the old clay pipe had to be replaced. The city says that the tree is protected...

Yes I believe that to correct as well, you can add a GFI breaker and outlet and ground the circuit. it does vary, our place is 1800 sqft, and again I'd say that we are rewiring about 40% of the house. Also many other things have to be considered, we aren't adding many new lights or circuits...

Don't be too concerned. I just bought a new place that had quite a bit of knob and tube, two bedrooms, the living room, dining room all over head fixtures, a porch light and a basement light were all on knob and tube. It's being replaced right now, will take 3-4 days and is costing $2400, that...

everyone has the potential to make somthing out of themselves, but think about ths.... how do you get a job without an address? or with out a SIN number? how do you get a SIN number without an address? How do you get an address without an exsting address? We sometimes forget how screwed you...
