Hidden Features

This park and the playing field behind it have been fenced off for years as construction went on. It seemed to take forever to finally be finished but now there is a nice park with a playground and a large playing field just past it. The playing field sits over Canada's largest deep geothermal project which will be used to help cool and heat U of Toronto. The site had previously just been a rather rough playing field for the university.

Another View Of Conversion

I went by Bloor St United Church again and got a different view from the one I showed you a couple of weeks ago. It will be interesting to see if they get some type of covering over the roof before the snow flies this winter. There certainly will be a lot of work to do to restore the interior and build the condo tower that will be attached to it.

Koreatown

The lamp posts along Bloor St W in Koreatown have been newly decorated and new banners have been installed too. I like the patterns and colours that they have used.

Where To Eat

These guys were on one side of the street discussing where to eat during one of the recent events along Bloor St W. They finally made up their minds and proceeded to cross right in front of the cyclist who was coming along at a good clip. He slowed down and gave them a big smile so all was well.

Abstract

This is yet another mural from the Yorkville neighbourhood. Even the stairs behind that wall are painted in the abstract way. The artist for this one is Matt Gondek.

A Lot Of Style

While waiting for a crowd to move along I could not help noticing the great style the young woman on the right has going on. It is hard to tell but her purse is shaped like a carton of milk. It is interesting that her 2 companions were dressed in in casual everyday clothes.

A Gathering

 Last week I could hear a lot of bird noise outside and looked out to see this large gathering of Starlings on a nearby cell phone tower. The nearby tree was also full of them as they all chattered away at each other. There was a steady stream of them coming and going for quite a while.
