Times Change

 

In the 1950s and 60s 1050 Chum was the place on the radio to hear all of the great music of the time. All of Toronto's young people were tuned into it. Well, times have changed and it is now an all sport and talk station.

Dragon

 

It was a windy day when I spotted this dragon as he veered back & forth by this house.  It made him look very fierce. He will be great on Halloween night.

Stargazing

 

This mural which is found just off Bloor St in the Annex was responding to the theme of honouring all the public parks in the surrounding area. Note the raccoon on the right - a normal sight in the area too. The artist for this one is Golden Butter Murals.

Changes

 Most of our trees are still green but you still run into a few that have changed like this Maple tree has. We have been having windy days so the leaves are not lasting long.

Walkies

 

I have spoken to this woman a couple of times while she walks her Yorkies and have watched  as she bribes the one on the right to keep walking. That one is 16 years old and would rather take it easy so it follows along behind her while the other dog is young and on a leash to keep her under control. It is fun to watch their strolls through the park.

Book Fair

 

I was down on King St W a couple of weeks ago to attend the 38th The Word On The Street annual book festival that features lots of book publishers, book stores and authors. This is just a small section just after opening and later it became quite crowded so was time to leave. I did buy Christmas gifts while there.

Going Up

 

Right beside yesterday's Royal Alexandra Theatre this condo tower is rising. It was designed by Toronto born architect Frank Gehry for the Mirvish family but was sold to another developer in 2017. This is the first of two towers to be built along King St W but the 2nd one is yet to be started. This one is to be 73 storeys and is estimated to be finished in 2028.
