Graffiti Alley, officially Rush Lane,[1] is a three-block, 1-km[2] alleyway in Toronto's Fashion District, known for hosting street art.[3][4][5] Lonely Planet has called the site "possibly the most popular place to check out street art in Toronto".[6] The alleyway was used prominently as the backdrop in Rick Mercer Report's "Rant" segment.[7] Despite its popularity with tourists and leniancy by law enforcement, it is not a legal wall.[8]
