There’s something very Edward Gorey-esque about Allan Gardens that keeps me coming back. Maybe it’s the moody Victorian atmosphere that they invoke, or maybe it’s the holiday weekend crowds — they can be murder. For Sarah it’s all about those sinister turtles.
I wrote this one a few years ago but decided to dust it off for TCL. You may recognize the lyrics of David Ruffin from The Temptations but the tune will probably not be so familiar. I believe the kids these days call this style Electro House.
It’s unseasonably cold, just found out I’m gonna need a root canal, and I still miss Ollie a lot. But at least some parts of the city are starting to look up.
Locations (in order):
214 Bay Street (planters in front of Walrus Pub)
255 Bay Street (planters in front of CIBC)
36 King Street West (planters in front of ScotiaBank)
23 King Street West (planter in front of BMO)
I’ve really been digging on Mister X comics lately and I guess the city’s psychetecture is having an effect.
