Sorry Nick

Since October 2015, I have walked at least twice a day by a mural by Nick Sweetman surrounding the vacant lot, slated for redevelopment, at 307 Sherbourne Street, on the south east corner of Sherbourne and Gerrard.

Long-time readers have seen it before.

The artist painted this wasp last year to cover up graffiti on the original painting.

On Wednesday night, at about quarter to 7:00, a double-decker sightseeing bus eastbound on Gerrard, struck another vehicle which took out a fence and cedar hedge on the west corner while the bus crossed the intersection, jumped the curb, hit a power pole and plowed through the fence surrounding the vacant lot.  

It took crews working around the clock two full days to restore the power pole and clear all the damage to public property. 

The hedge across the street is still a ruin.

So is the mural.

Thanks for reading!
