A Walk Down Memory Lane

Facing University Ave from the Parliament Buildings - Hospital Alley - on the left are Toronto General (Women's College is behind that) and Hospital for Sick Kids (I will be working there all next week) - on the right are Princess Margaret Cancer Hospital, Mt Sinai and Toronto Rehab. I had worked at TO General during my first year of college - my responsibility was to help in the destruction of death charts that occurred 10 years previously (we can under the Hospital Act). As always, it is a busy street.

Ontario Parliament Building (Provincial Gov't). It is located at the head of University Ave and College Street. The streets were just normal for end of day traffic. Last week, the grounds were full of highschool students as they protest as they are planning to close many of their swimming pools - no surprise - it is due to $$$

After working at North York General today, the rain clouds cleared so I thought I would go for a walk around the block. I walked from the hotel (Dundas & University) up to the Parliament Buildings, down to College and Yonge Street - down Yonge to Dundas where the popular Eaton's Centre is located and back to the hotel. The popular intersection of Dundas and Yonge sure has changed - looks a bit like NY Times Square - small scale of it with the big TV screens with advertisements etc. There is a section now where the table and chairs are out like a huge sidewalk cafe. Interesting seeing all the changes since I last was here - it has been a while I will admit.
