Went exploring with [livejournal.com profile] commanderteddog today, just at random. We explored an odd marble-clad stairwell that went deep beneath the already subterranean path, found a mysterious Staples outlet, and explored the worst playground in Toronto.




I mean, really, just look at these lame monkey bars.


First of all, this hedge maze goes NOWHERE. Secondly, it's made of freaking GLASS.


I admire Toronto's dedication to public green space.


Hey, look! This wading pool is fed by rainwater from a trough!


Come on in! The garbage is fine!

Yeah, okay, so these are all actually examples of public art.


I find the bad English on this sign to be curiously charming.


This old firehall is now something called the "Gilda Radner Club," something to do with cancer survivors/people living with cancer.


This skycraper looks complete - save for a stripe of plywood boards rising its entire length.


Walking the PATH, a hallway serving as a sort of airlock between the Scotiabank Plaza and Dundee Place.




Deep underground, people banking in a lurid neon glow.


This curiously antique stairwell is connected to a very sleek and modern underground mall, part of the much older skyscraper above it. It went down several more flights, terminating in... a locked door!


Built in 1910, and looking much more modern than some much newer structures nearby.


The Ontario Heritage Centre. A middle-aged woman rather snarkily informed us that it was not a public building, when I checked for a public washroom.
