More MW Bowen Street Art On Granville Street

More of MW Bowen's street art is posted on the Granville Street Bridge next to the demolition site of the Continental Hotel. Not sure how long the art will be there as his work tends to disappear quickly.

Vancouver's Iconic Whaling Wall Being Torn Down

Vancouver's Continental Hotel at the north end of the Granville Street Bridge is in the process of being torn down. The  Whaling Wall (covered on this blog in April 2012) and painted on the north side of the building is also being demolished. The property/land is owned by the City of Vancouver and was posted for sale earlier in 2014. Valued at $36,135,568 the land will be redeveloped and also see the removal of the bridge off ramp. There is speculation that this could be the home of a new Aquatic Center, LGBTQ Resource Center and units of non market housing
