View From My Window
Our windows are floor to ceiling, with a view that extends across the west end of the city, hitting the lake and on the clearest of days even a little bit of New York state. From the 31st floor, we have a bit of selection as to how much city noise we get - windows closed…it’s peaceful. Open…

Toronto: Where Art and Construction are guaranteed to piss off the locals?
Okay, so I rarely see any art in Toronto that excites me, but I’m a big construction geek. Sure, I hate the noise and dust as much as any other plebe, but it is fun to watch Toronto grow up. One day, it shall be a big boy. Boy I wish Toronto’s artistic community had balls like Queen West…

Ryan Relapse?

I made a new friend this week: “Rocker Dude” on Ossington, north of Queen West, Toronto
