Kensington Market, Toronto. August, 2026. Closed for the holiday. #BlackAndWhitePhotography #StreetPhotography #Photography #DeadpanPhotography
At right is a closed record shop, security gate in place. At left, an alley leads away from the street into the distance. The wall of the building at far left are covered in graffiti. At the end of the alley, atop another building, a tag reads “Nuke”

Yeah but we all need to just be nicer and smile more. He clearly saw our scowls from KW.

The sheer lenght is opulent. The driver can be in one postal code, his passingers in another and their luggage in a third.

I mean the cyclist probably didn't smile and wasn't polite about being hit by a truck... So...... /s

And yes I remember that douche from the meeting. So much "freedom" to express his desired without any fear of consequence.

Oh I agree with you. That was my frustration to the qoute because its the usual "disqualification" BS where the issue isnt the actual problem but that people aren't being nice about how they voice their concern.

But have you tried smiling more and being nicer? /s

My favorite part was where he blamed Chow for failing to push for a Eglinton East LRT and then promised to rip up 12km of bus lanes on the same alignment that the LRT would have run. Blame Chow for failing on transit and them promise to make it worse. The Bradford way.

The bus way just opened up. Those lanes were installed shortly after the SRT closed down.

Sadly the history of the Don Valley is tied to the industrialization of Toronto and the subsequent destruction of the watershed.

I once saw one wedge sideways on Bathrust street streetcar stop on the concrete blocker. Those little cars were tough. No visible damage just a change of orientation from upright to sideways. Small enough to basically flip over and keep on driving.

They do put in an effort to keep you out. But it can be over come. Ive gone further up to about Bloor (been many years) and come down from further north (Sheppard) and th was like 16-18 years ago. Not recommended, but might be revisited.

📍 Christie Pits Park #Toronto
Gravel path lined with trees at the top of a grass slope. Low afternoon sun in a blue sky overhead, illuminating trees in autumn foliage. People sitting on a grass slope in a park facing the afternoon sun. Trees in autumn foliage are on either of the open grass area. Two people playing at a basketball court surrounded by trees in a park. Branches full of leaves in red autumn foliage frame the scene. Winding paved and gravel paths through a park lined with trees in yellow, red, and green autumn foliage. Clear blue sky overheard.

All a part of Don River improvement plans of the 1800s. Deepen and straighten the lower Don for ship traffic, remove the marsh to get rid of "foul air" and then industry.. In the end the River no longer flowed into the lake or meandered south of Bloor. Just a straight shot down to a 90 degree elbow

A liminal punt up the Don River. Directly north of Biidaasige Park, the Don is encased in concrete & surrounded by road infrastructure. Hostile, sterile & foreboding. This is the industrial Don, a river stuck out of time. Imprisoned by the sins of past improvements. #paddleTO #SUP #LoveTheRavines

If there was ever proof but there should be some sort of licensing system before you're allowed to have a kid. This is it

So they want the museum to have around the clock security to deal with a city failure? Never fail to fall far short of basic expectations Oshawa, never.
