Description
The Dragon's Gate Mural. According to Chinese mythology, the Dragon’s Gate is located at the top of a waterfall cascading from a legendary mountain. Many carp swim upstream against the river’s strong current, but few are capable or brave enough for the final leap over the waterfall. If a carp successfully makes the jump, it is transformed into a powerful dragon. LCBO, 337 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Discover the past and present along Spadina Avenue; from the historical lakeshore and Indigenous trade route to a diverse international neighbourhood; the advocacy by the Jewish and Chinatown community against discrimination so that they could not only survive but thrive in their new home; and the evolving definition of public space and art that grounds the community and its shops, homes, and businesses.
