Before you turn west, look at the painting of a giant eye on a building further east on the south side of the street. The mural is by US artist Shepard Fairey, best known for his Hope poster of Barack Obama created during the 2008 US elections.
The building used to house a popular nightclub called Tattoo.

Queen Street West was the baseline established by the Royal Engineers when they laid out the town of York (now Toronto) in 1783. Formerly Lot Street, it was renamed in the 1840s in honor of Queen Victoria. Despite being a heritage conservation area, it is an important east-west corridor with streetcars running along it. Cross the road and head north on Ryerson Avenue, past the new Workplace One, an example of the district’s former factories and warehouses which are now loft apartments or workspaces. Check out Theatre Passe Muraille that is one of the city’s top independent theatres, located in the former Nasmith Bakery and Stables.
