Heritage Minute: Motels of Kingston Road

Discover a charming utility box mural at Kingston and Brimley, where artist Kyla Ross has transformed an everyday street fixture into a nostalgic love letter to Kingston Road's motel era. Part of StreetARToronto's Outside the Box program, the artwork celebrates the roadside signage of a bygone travel culture, back when this ancient route was lined with inns welcoming weary travellers. It's a small but delightful find — the kind of detail that rewards anyone who takes the slow route home. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
