They were the culprit. I came across them in the act of spraying, and they proudly posed for multiple pictures next to their work when I challenged them. I doubt that they pay tax and my guess is that they may sleep on it tonight, literally. As a local resident, I am sooo tired of this crap.

There are zero consequences for doing this kind of thing. In fact many times we have seen pictures posted of "acceptable artistic graffiti" on this very forum. None of it is legal and either you accept it or you don't. If people are accepting of any form of graffiti in public or on private property, then then this is where we are going to be. If they had done something "more creative and artistically acceptable" yet still illegal, then what? Oh and my taste is different than someone else's so who gets to decide what is acceptable to any degree? The loser in the picture may think it's art...so let them have their fun I guess.
 
I'm pretty sure they're are consequences if they're caught though...

You can commission them to spray on your property and tag all you want, when someone sprays on private or public property without authorization it's illegal wether it's artistically beautiful or not.

Bar Lulu. Not sure if this is a two storey unit or not. Btw, saw these upper level spaces and the community space off Draper Park

when searching for info and know nothing about them. Look amazing! I assume that they aren’t open yet. Taken 2 December.

Front Street west of Spadina is in desperate need of an overhaul. I hope that with the plans to build a GO station there the whole street can get redone and made more pedestrian friendly and visually appealing.

I agree. The north side to Draper has been gussied up and just needs some trees planted. Also I imagine that there will be some reconstruction along the Portland Commons frontage as well as a few patios! Though piecemeal this is a great start and provides a template that seems to be influencing the initial railway deck plans.

As long as one side of the street is train tracks in a trench there is nothing that can be done to make it look more appealing.
Only until they deck the train tracks with a park and condos will front street feel more urban and less like a wasteland
