Near the northernmost entrance to the Market 63 shop, which is actually on the second floor of this building, it's to the left when you're facing it. Just to the right of the escalator.

I used to work as a Protection Officer at the National Gallery of Canada. The guard and dog were on duty next to the Gardiner Expressway, on the north side of the former 90 Harbour Street, also known as the headquarters of the Ontario Provincial Police. Banksy clearly does his research. Despite it's high traffic area of downtown Toronto, it was deceivingly hidden, pinned between the Gardiner and one of the expressway's off-ramps. It was on one of the building's north-facing concrete pillars. After it first went up, it was not long before someone put a dodo on top of the guard's head, and made the dog growl "Grrr!". Then someone wrote "Robbin' Banksy" beside the piece in yellow. The piece stood for awhile, and despite demolition of the building around it - the lone pillar was one of the last things standing at the fenced-in site. It was protected with plywood and some kind of polystyrene foam covering the art on it. "We were ordered to save it," explains Ron Kepic, an estimator with Progreen Demolition, "so that nothing would fall, or hit it, or disturb it in any way." Where it is now, nobody knows.

As the subway worms its way out of its dark hole-- between Dundas West station and Keele station-- you can see the backs of the buildings that line Bloor Street, which would normally be a bland testimony to...Toronto-ness.

Graffiti all the way...GOOD graffiti, enjoyable to all (because I watch you all looking at it on the subway, it grabs your eye, don't deny it you there mister-man-with-the-briefcase). It's cool too because it changes all the time, and on your next ride on the train it'll be something slightly different. Whether you believe it to be art or not, it's something to be seen. (Disclaimer: I am not promoting going down back alleyways by yourself....unless you're into that sort of thing. But maybe bring a buddy if you're going to check it out off the rails. I've added many many pictures for those who want a peek.)
