Hello All,
Today was such a fabulous day that I figured it would be nice to go for a walk around the town and capture a few moments. I hope you enjoy the tour.
We start off leaving my home, Spire and head east.
Here is Vu. Under construction.
We then headed south down Jarvis st. and got a shot looking west towards the core. In the foreground is St. James Cathedral.
Heading down Jarvis street we found this old painted sign.
The Classic Toronto Postcard.
We then jay walked across lake shore and got a shot looking west of MLS, and Success, as well as a homeless person harassing motorists. Nothing says Toronto like panhandling on Lake shore boulevard.
Graffiti on the west side of Guvernment nightclub.
The new home of Corus! Hopefully they will be able to produce some decent Canadian programming.
We then start heading west and pass the sugar refinery.
In the foreground is property owned by the LCBO. You can see recently completed London on the Esplanade.
If phase III is Success than phase IV must be Failure
Heading south we reach the waterfront. The recently thawed waters of Lake Ontario are surprisingly green.
The swans were playing a friendly game of chicken with the water taxi.
Maple Leaf Square viewed from Queens Quay and York St.
RBC seen from the Queens Quay Terminal building.
Telus seen from Harbourfront Centre ice skating rink. Part of the rink was open to the public, however this section was closed due to a potential ice breaking disaster.
The classic CN Tower shot.
In the foreground, a new slip under construction. Off in the distance you can see the Ritz Carlton filling in the gap. This shot was taken from the white pedestrian bridge.
The Simcoe St. head of slip under construction.
The Rees St. head of slip under construction.
Greg (my camera assistant) wanted to go try out the new wave deck. But unfortunately we'll have to wait til next summer.
We continued west into HTO park. You can get a good view of the construction progress from the park.
I'm glad we made it here. Because as you can see we are most welcome. However, there is No Lifeguard, No Swimming, No Pets Allowed, Don't feed the birds, and Rollerbladers, Skateboarders, or Bicyclists are not allowed either. But remember to feel welcome. I hate the nanny state that has become of this city.
Further west we found another welcoming site, the recently completed Spadina wavedeck. It can't be used today though since there is a chain across it from preventing pedestrians from using it. It's probably a good thing since most people wouldn't be able to handle the wavy wavedeck.
We said good riddance to the chain and jumped over it! This is where I, the cameraman got tired.
We decided we shouldn't linger too long as we were probably in violation of Municipal code #604192398320 and headed north into Cityplace. Panorama is under construction.
The recently completed West 1 is picture below.
Heading into Cityplace you can see the park in the foreground with hoarding around it. Under construction in the distance is Panorama, and West Harbour City.
We then decided to turn east and start heading home. Around the east side of the Rogers Skydome you can see the Ritz Carlton inching skyward.
Infinity Phase I.
On the north side of Bremner is what looks like glass testing for 18 York St.
Looking on the other side of York Street you can see MLS underway.
Across the road to the north is Telus under construction.
Excavation continues on 18 York Street.
Pictured below is photograph number 33.
I then decided it was time to head back home to Spire and passed by Trump tower to see how the progress is coming.
I hope you enjoyed the photo tour and the cheesy commentary. If you want to see any high-res versions of any of these pictures send me a PM.
Cheers!
