a must check out for any creative.

"Just off West Queen West, around the corner from 48 Abell and the Drake Hotel, on the wall of a long blue warehouse complex that is supposed to come down shortly to make room for a condo, stands Mr. Loogie.

It's a façade in more ways than one. A constructed storefront for a constructed store, you walk in through its front door and find yourself in the workspace of an artist, with wood and construction materials—along with Bell telephones—everywhere. As you exit through what would be the back of the small store, you are taken out into a long and wide warehouse that has been converted into a city street, with fake storefronts on both sides, fake tags and graffiti on the walls, and a real TTC streetcar shelter and bus stop standing tall. A Viacom billboard advertising "Condos for Babies" hangs on the south wall.

The work of Dan Bergeron and Gabriel Reese, A City Renewal Project brings the outside in and turns what's inside back out to comment on the change going on on streets across the city. From tonight until November 23, Mr. Loogie's door at 39 Lisgar Street is open for business."
