Finally Found . . . .

Do you remember that car I was looking for in the fall? Well, if you know me, I am always looking for cars, but this one was the elusive Kensington Market Garden Car, which I had read about and made two trips to the Kensington Market neighbourhood to photograph very unsuccessfully. Last year there was no car in the spot described!

Back to Kensington Market

Yesterday we were down in the area, actually Spadina Ave., where we have found a great Asian grocery store we like to frequent, and I suggested we go back into Kensington Market area and see if the car had been returned. Last fall we were assured by locals that the car was removed for the winter, but would “Probably” be returned in some form in the spring. 

Kensington Market is always an interesting neighbourhood to explore with it little old shops and eclectic eating establishments, and everything covered in street art and graffiti. So another walk through the neighbourhood was even more interesting than it was in the fall, since more shops were open and the streets and sidewalks were bustling with locals and tourists out seeing and being seen. 

AND, the car with finally parked on the street in its designated spot. Painted in bright colours from top to bottom, and filled with plants and flowers, it was everything I was led to believe. I’m not sure how the car is chosen, but it is obviously renewed frequently as looking back over the past photos of the car show different models, and This years car does not look like the one that was there last year. 

So you finally get to see pictures of the Kensington Garden Car . . . . . .
