Lansdowne Ave., looking North from Dupont towards the railway and Foundry Lofts. |
|
|
Railway and Foundry Lofts on Lansdowne north of Dupont. |
|
|
Lots of bikes locked up here. |
|
|
Interesting murals under the bridge. Date on the bridge is 1931. |
|
|
Me and Jen under the bridge. |
|
|
Foundry Lofts building. Apparently they used to make electric trains here. Now they're turning it into residential lofts and more. |
|
|
Another view of the Foundry Lofts from the north end on Lansdowne Ave. |
|
|
Looking south down Lansdowne Ave. towards Davenport. |
|
|
Up on St. Clair Ave., we decided to walk through part of Prospect Cemetary. |
|
|
Looking North inside Prospect Cemetary. |
|
|
A funky tree in Prospect Cemetary. |
|
|
Still inside Prospect Cemetary. |
|
|
Construction on St. Clair Ave., as the streetcar right of way gets extended west. Looking south between Greenlaw and Via Italia. |
|
|
Another shot of that backhoe. |
|
|
Another backhoe, just a bit to the east, cradling it's little brother. |
|
|
His and Hers TTC toilets? |
|
|
Jen wanted a photo of the green dress in this storefront. |
|
|
Searching for a place to have breakfast, lunch, brunch, or whateveryouwannacallit, we ended up finding this cute little cafe just off of St. Clair Ave. Unfortunately, they didn't really serve much in the way of food, but the guy working there recommended this place called "BOOM" at the corner of St Clair and Glenholme. He warned us about the lineup, which actually wasn't too bad, maybe 5 minutes. Breaky was delicious. I'll have to keep both these places in mind for future visits. |
|
|
Jen at the foot of Glenholme Ave. at Regal Rd. There's a staircase here that goes down the escarpment. Not quite like the escarpment staircases inHamilton though! |
|
|
Looking down the staircase towards Davenport Rd. |
|
|
At Davenport Rd. and Dufferin St., there's a another path that goes back up the escarpment. Unfortunately, it's been closed off, though still easily accessible from the bottom. At the top, it's fenced off so you can't access the school grounds up there. Ohwell. We still enjoyed the nice view from up here. It's really not that high up, but because of the lack of tall buildings around here, you can see a fair bit of the West End of Toronto, and over to the downtown skyline which seems so far away. |
|
|
So...here are a whole bunch of pictures taken from the escarpment north-east of Davenport and Dufferin. |
