Preston Street (subtitled Corso Italia) is the heart of Little Italy in Ottawa, although many of the families have moved on and it is a small stretch of road with a few businesses left. This mural under the bridge celebrates some of that heritage.

I have not made it yet to Ottowa, but I plan on going for the tulip festival. It seems every major city has a little Italy. 🙂
Great shot of this monumental entranceway to Little Italy, Lesley!
This is great – could work well for Signs, Signs too!
Does the ‘Little Italy’ glow neon and flash at night?
Thank you for the comments you have been leaving on my blog! I love this photo! Who would imagine this would be in Ottowa!
I like the mural, I guess the frame all tell a story that is really interesting.
Great sign.
This is far from my image of Ottawa… so much more earthy than the manicured image of our capital city.
[There are arches on both sides of my bridge, Lesley; it’s just the straight on angle of my shot that makes it look like a single set.]
good to have the mural, stops graffitti
