Clearly someone went to a lot of effort to paint or chalk draw this tape measure onto the sidewalk. I thought it was pretty neat and definitely photo worthy. I wish I had that sort of talent and patience.

This photos comes from my visit to the big annual art show down at Nathan Phillips Square out front of Toronto City Hall. a week or so back with Mauro.
