I would not send a tourist down the Esplanade, no. St. Lawrence Market, YES, big nearby churches, YES, Distillery, MAYBE, but not down the Esplanade east of the market. Hell, my sisters were in town and I took them right through Regent Park to see the work that was happening there, and they were really interested in that. But no, we didn't walk down the Esplanade. I don't think they would "get it".
I suppose if I had a friend interested in urban planning I would, but not otherwise.
I dunno, I still get a whiff of "there's a little Doors Open in all of us" re the urban-planning point.
Maybe a stronger issue at hand is the existence of "superior" means to get from St Lawrence to Distillery...
