I had shown you a large building that has had several uses last August (HERE). Today I'm showing the storage building that is found in its parking lot and was said to be used for off-loading from the neighbouring railway tracks. I'm not sure what is in there now but it was a showroom for high end cars for a while.
I found this large home in the Little Italy neighbourhood and love that 2nd floor balcony. These large homes in this area were built as single family dwellings but many have been divided into flats and this one has a couple of units and also you can see down the driveway that there is a coach house out back. There is a trend now to turn them back into very large family homes so as a result rental units disappear - a major problem in the city.
This sign for the Intergalactic Travel Authority was actually for a shop/cafe that was previously at this location on Bloor St W. I thought it was for a travel agency at first glance. Love the assortment of travelers lined up on their sign.

It is hard to escape the CN Tower in the city since it is so tall and is located at the shore of Lake Ontario and the city basically goes uphill away from the lake. So when you are on the edge of one of our bigger hills like this one you can see rooftops and the Tower peeking at you from miles away!
I found this friendly artist in a doorway along Bloor St W but neglected to get the artist's name. He is a nice looking Panda Bear don't you think?

Yesterday's chipmunk was busy feeding under the bird feeders when this ground hog appeared and being at least 20 times larger than chippie it soon had the whole place to its self. I've never seen one around the feeders before.
Last week I saw my first chipmunk this spring so winter must be over if these guys have ventured out of their cozy homes. He was so tiny and cute! Tomorrow I will show you who came along and chased him away!
