A Two Day Story - 230909/10

So Saturday was a bit of a lazy day, we went down to the pub where every dueser who could come came, then as it was the Cabbagetown Festival we went to the Art and Crafts fair, as lovely as the last time I was there.

Sunday at midday we started out with a bit of Allan Gardens Conservatory, not so easy to get around as it's up for reconstructions. But some flowers I will share with you.

So as we headed towards the subway I took the gang inside Lowblaw's entrance to look at the big Maple leave made out of chairs from the old Maple Leafs Garden(it's the building holding the store among other things)

After lunch at the Urban Eatery in Eaton Center we walked past the old City Hall towards the new and the Toronto Sign.

A trip to Toronto isn't anything without a visit in the Michael's where they have all kinds of hobby stuff. No photos from that though, but now we made our way "due south" to the harbour, it was time to get out to Center Islands. We spent a lovely evening there, lots of photos as the skyline turned the lights on. CN tower was lit up in changing green and purple, but turned solid red a bit when we waited to go back.

Sunday 21st a day out looking at murals and graffiti

So I took a walk down towards Eaton Center as I needed to pick up a few day pass(for TTC) and my sunglasses had broken(new ones under CAD7 at H&M). I then was going to take the street car out west on Queen Street and ended up walking by the old City Hall and Nathan Philips Square.

The Trinity Bellwood Flea - Summer market at Great Hall had a few nice things to offer, the only thing I picked up though was some soda in different tastes than usual, I haven't opened any of them yeat though as I wanted to chill them first.

  

A bit of murals and other colourful houses in Toronto

  

And a quick coffee on the go at St James Coffee Bar

Reaching Graffiti Alley where the graffiti varies and is leagal, I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

Going back east the streetcar stopped outside Hudson Bay, liked how they had displayed their goods in different coloured windows, the Hudson Bay colours; Red, Yellow, Green and Black

More of colourful Toronto, think this was in Leslieville

  

  

And an animal mural on what I think is an animal-hospital or something alike(Torontoians may correct me)
