236 - Street Art 🖌️
With downtown’s Banksy exhibit stirring up conversation about art, context and commerce, we’re taking this edition of The Localist to highlight a few of our favourite local pieces of “street” art. 😉
Smiley Speed Hump 🙂
A tip of the cap to this piece from May of ‘23 that brought a (literal) smile to the faces of all those slowing down through the school zone where we found it.

Oh, Deer! 🦌
This one (along Riverside Dr) is a little on-the-nose. 🔴

No Parking? 🚫 🅿️ 🤔
PSA: This officially sanctioned signage is scheduled to be simplified sooner than later—so you best head on down to House ASAP to check it out (and grab a burger) before it’s gone! 🍔

The Banana Kingdom 🍌🏰
Sure, we’ll consider the Thames Valley Parkway a “street” for the purposes of this list; especially if it lets us include our beloved/persistent Banana Kingdom!
-
Street Art Deco!
This last one (from the Domion Public Building) is for all you type-lovers...
