A Walk Down Yonge
It was a gorgeous morning as I left work, and rather than the usual subway from St. Clair, I decided to walk south down Yonge Street and would board the trains at Bloor for the eventual westbound trip. I need the exercise anyway.
I always find something new on this trips. I know most of Toronto well, but I am still surprised by the little treasures that have slipped past my memory over the many years. Today was the overpass at Rowanwood Avenue, which overlooks the TTC Subway tracks between Summerhill and Rosedale stations. I stopped to take a few photos with my blackberry. Another lesson learned today. ALWAYS carry my SLR with me. Not bad for a phone cam though.
I’ve arrived home, and it is almost sad that I need to get some sleep. I will try to make it a short nap so that I can enjoy the rest of this gorgeous day. After all I did not get a weekend, much less a long one. Enjoy the photos.

Another escalator out of service. No signs as to when it will come back online. TTC - Islington Subway Station.
Save Transit City
If you’ve ridden the TTC subway system today (and probably for the next few weeks) the typical safety announcements that come over the P.A. system have been replaced with a message from our Mayor regarding the recent cutbacks affecting Transit City. He asks you - the rider - to help push the Ontario Government for funding.
What do you think of these announcements? Do they belong on the subway PA system?
One day, I’m going to get hit by a car (or bus) jay-walking across this street. There’s a TTC subway entrance on both sides but the Tim Horton’s is on the left (northeast) side of Islington/Bloor
