Sport Bar

 

This is a new sign that has popped up in the Mirvish Village neighbourhood which is on the site of the old Honest Ed's store. I had no idea of this history of the Mirvish family opening a clothing store for women here in 1940 which eventually morphed into the famous store.

Very Red Oak

This small oak tree was putting on a fine show as I wandered by on my way to a Little Library. I thought the tree was a maple at first. 
 

Work Is Finished

 

Work is complete on the building that I showed you last week and it is not difficult to see the Keith Haring influence. It certainly catches the eye and now the question will be about what business is moving in there.

Autumn Harvest

 

This is the autumn display outside of the entrance to Casa Loma. Those huge pumpkins were quite impressive to see.

Not Cooperating

 

There was a flock of these little sparrows poking about in the grass in a local park and I spent at least 5 minutes trying to get a good pic of one of them. They just kept bouncing around and this was the best shot that I got. I think this is a White-Crowned Sparrow.

Spadina House

If you were to continue through the gate that I showed yesterday, this would be your view of Spadina House which is a historic house museum operated by the City of Toronto. The interior shows styles from the 1860s through to the 1930s. It is a really interesting place to visit and I have done so several times. The grounds of the house are wonderful for a wander too.
 

Closed Gate

 

This is a small gate that leads into the grounds of Spadina House, a museum near Casa Loma. The main gates were wide open but this little one is rarely open. I love the stonework.
