CANADA: A NATION IN CHAOS

A mundane street pole in Toronto is getting attention as a community of artists builds a tower of LEGO – five feet and counting – around it.

I like that! The little windows are cheery. I think this would brighten anyone's day and, goodness knows, we need that.

Very Walt Disneyish. People are hunkered down in place praying for the lack interest and excitement, frankly the dullness to cede.

Since by definition, artists can't make any money, I'm guessing this is a promotion sponsored by the Lego company.

Better than stepping on one barefoot in the middle of the night, but are we sure it's not a wrap?

This is discriminatory. They should build an enclosure around Czechs and Slovacks too.

The dogs in the neighborhood are outrageously happy - finally they get to publicly express their opinions on the local artist's work. A great place for dog aroma therapy.

Can you tell me how to get to Mundane Street?

I agree this is Very Cool but I think it would be better to paint the Legos on this (and any other) street pole. Not only would it last longer, it would not impede access to the pole for lineman (especially in an emergency).*
