a synagogue in the city of churches? i dunno, but that is kensington market. i love my jews! respect!

 

[urbandreamer]

^Nope. Not many Jews in this 'hood lol.

Looking down Macklem from College to St Anne's Anglican on Gladstone? (The church with the Group Of Seven decorations)

 

[urbandreamer]

^We have a winner! One of Toronto's secrets, St Anne's is probably proof the 'hood used to be mostly English folk...I wonder what the local strip was like before the Portuguese took over? (Oddly, I've never been to a service at St Anne's, it's on my "to do" list.)

Last weekend found me hanging out on this infamous street:

What's the controversy all about?

That looks like Hooke Ave., home of the famous pile drivers.

Hmm...that would be a good name for a local sports team: The Hook Ave. Pile Drivers.

Pile driving the Hookers?

Yeah, Hook Av it is. (In the Dundas/Keele St area.)

Here's something a bit more abstract/artistic, but the reflection should be a dead giveaway to someone in the know...

All old 'hoods used to be mostly English (& Irish & Scottish) folk...

 

[Northern Light]

Looks like Dundas

Dundas Street West, west of Spadina, north side.

The reflection is Alexandra Park.

I think.

 

[urbandreamer]

We have a winner! Alexandra Park reflected off the gorgeous (until 7 May) Minnow & Bass gallery at the corner of Dundas St W and Kensington Av--go check out the show and see all the prints of farm tractors etc!

A smelly street here, perhaps?

When I hear "smelly street" I immediately think of Kennsington Market and the stinkiest street in the market imo is Baldwin Street depicted in your photo.

 

[adma]

I thought "smelly street" was the foot of Tecumseh or something...

Not the photo. Just the idea of a smelly street.

 

[Urban Shocker]

They all had smelly feet in those days, not just Tecumseh.
