Early on a Saturday morning in north Toronto, this restaurant is set for the huge crowds that will be out to enjoy the great weather. It is located in Don Mills, one of the early suburbs from the 1950s & 60s that is no longer considered to be "out in the burbs" since the city has grown around it.
This clock tower,designed by Douglas Coupland, can be found at "the Shops of Don Mills" a plaza newly redesigned and constructed in the north part of the city. The houses on the clock were inspired by the surrounding suburb which was developed from 1953 to 67 and was the first fully planned and integrated community constructed post WW2 in N America. The actual clock is in the digital read out on the tower below the houses.
