More Songs about Buildings and Food

We loaded the girls into the Haunted Police Car this afternoon, and took them into downtown Toronto for a special treat. Yes, Australian supergroup "The Wiggles" were in town. I have to say, the bandmembers are clearly in very good shape. A few of them were doing the splits during the show.

And, they taught Captain Feathersword (the Friendly Pirate) all about Canada's ties to Australia through the Commonwealth, and the show concluded with "Rule Brittania!" in full chorus. Well, okay, not the last part.


The first stop, though, was buying candy in Union Station. You know how much the SkyDome Roger's Centre charges for food?



velvetpage, Claire, and Elizabeth.


BEHOLD YOUR AUSTRALIAN OVERLORDS!


The show in progress...


Jeff, the Laugable Narcoleptic Wiggle, has fallen asleep in the midst of his wild gyrations once again.


Fall sunshine and colours.



The CN Tower and Roger's Centre.

After the show, we ambled through a park built on land that was, not too long ago, scarred wasteland owned by the Canadian National railways. Toronto is evidently booming, and about two dozen high-rises were in construction around us.



The beautiful Royal York Hotel, once the largest building in the British Empire, is rapidly losing its waterfront view.


These were built since I started working at CCI.


Construction is everywhere.


And that's all.

The same thing happened with 'The Eaton's Centre' in Guelph a bit over a decade ago.

Ditto the one in Hamilton! I still call it the Eaton's Centre.

I don't think there are any Eatons left. Didn't they go out of business years ago? It's a shame, but I suppose it's progress. They'll live on in the history books.
