I miss the butterflies
Finder’s points to spacing.ca: a proposal for facelifts at Museum, Osgoode and St. Patrick stations – the sarcophagi are my favourite. (I'm puzzled by the sprinters-and-racehorses meme at St. Patrick, though – what's with that?)
I'd enjoyed the plywood butterflies on the houses opposite Chester station for years, never thinking that I'd move into the neighbourhood and that it would end up as my subway station. Just about the time we moved in, though, the house that seemed to have most of them was sold, and the butterflies came down, except for a few on the house next door. It’s much-diminished – there used to be at least a dozen. Any proposal of this kind has to bring them back in some form – maybe by the turnstiles.
