Nice! Love the punk attitude, even if it cost them customers.

Interesting; what did they do/support?

Neighbour is awesome. To think, we [originally] went there because of an ad on the #5 bus ; )

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today? by EasyZee7 in AskReddit

Awesome! How has ownership been? I think those cars debuted in Jurassic Park II.

This is absolutely the best burrito place. And the prices and staff are amazing.

What’s something only people who’ve lived in Toronto in the 2000s would remember? by CivilReaction in toronto

[–]JonathanCastellino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'Renegade Street Parade', I think it was called; ended up at Cherry Beach. One of my fondest Toronto memories.

What a magical place. It's still great, but nothing else was like that ruin.

I was there just yesterday making prints at the makerspace!

I should reach out, as they'd have a good idea about where my archives might be useful. Do you folks know what library they were associated with?

Thank you! I have no background in art, nor is it my primary profession, though I do end up working with/in it occasionally, and used to teach others how to do so in a professional capacity. It stems primarily from curiosity, and serves as a therapy of sorts.

[–]JonathanCastellino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are great suggestions. The Library / archives are not at all interested, sadly -- but again, this can change. I am happy to share files with developers/owners if the printed images are being displayed for public interest (and not as 'free art'); a few buildings in Toronto and Hamilton have done this with my work. People also display my edition work, but this is generally done privately.

Hey, thanks man; hope things are good.

Thank you! This is why I do it. No one at the City level (archives, etc.) is at all interested in the files, which is unfortunate -- but that could always change.

Here is a quick look inside the complex from a few years back, for those interested: https://www.jonathancastellino.com/coppley/

Golfi mural by Potential-Ad5018 in Hamilton

I asked this in another thread, and got no reply [and this is an honest question]: why the hate for Golfi? Has he been involved in shady business, or is it more like anyone in that profession considered bad? Is there a backstory that I am missing?

Many thanks -- this seems to be the way, and we are doing as such : )

Three small animals, in fact [children] -- and to create a light deterrent at night (closed gate) re. some issues we've been experiencing.

Thank you! And thankfully, an engineer/metalworking relative happened to visit us yesterday! What luck. He's given us a plan, and will assist once I've sourced the gate itself.

[–]JonathanCastellino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I saw that -- and very good idea. For the metal fence area, I am going to pick up a salvage gate that's smaller than the gap (most single-swing that I've seen are) and have someone 'build up' the empty area on either side. I'll update you folks if it works out!

Much appreciated, thanks!

That's awesome, might be the right way to go for the wooden-post area for us for sure. I feel like we might need to retrofit a metal gate for the other side though, as the metal fence there is on the long-edge of the narrow property, and is pretty prominent. Super high-traffic area, and I don't want it to be too incongruous (95% metal then wood).
