Location: 1600 Gerrard St. E. at Rhodes
Date photo taken: 20 February 2016
Back in the 1980s Lee's Palace commissioned a mural for the front of their Bloor Street building. The job went to a young artist who was working as a waiter and a Toronto icon was born. Despite the passing of years, Alex Currie, who goes by either RUNT or Al Runt, has stayed true to his style, which he describes as "naiveté, with fart jokes." This detail is not from the repainted Lee's Palace but from an east-end mural - it covers the front and part of the side of the storefront at 1600 Gerrard Street East.
