Queens Park

Welcome to THEJNSREPORT’S: Toronto Photo Walk Pt.III Picking up where we last left off. We continued to walk the streets of downtown Toronto.The street car looks like a hybrid between a bus and a train car.TD bank is also seemingly the bank of Canada because I saw locations just about everywhere we went.

As we approached Queens Park I noticed this massive glass building looming in the distance. It looked pretty awesome with it’s curved shape.

Toronto General Hospital in the background.

Heading to class I guess.This statue is for a famous doctor of the university. His name escapes me but obviously he was important enough to have a statue erected for him by the medical school.

Back to back street cars were approaching, reminding me of the good ole days of the MTA, where late off schedule, bus drivers put on their (Not in service/Next Bus Please) signs and sped off one after the other leaving many of us strap-hangers stranded.We began making our way back towards the way we came to Queens Park and the downtown financial district.

Nice play pen for the kids. From here, we encountered the flags of the G8 in Toronto. They are comprised of the 8 leading industrialized economies (Canada, United States, UK, Russia, Japan, France, Italy, Germany, & European Union).

I didn’t even know there was a Mount Sinai Hospital in Canada.We wanted to go up to the top of the space needle building here but alas we thought better of it and would plan that for another trip when the weather was more amenable.I have to say I really like the architecture of the buildings in Toronto. This city is pretty cool I must say.And then my attention was drawn towards something in the picture. I’m like what in the world???No he’s not like… “I’m about to go to sleep. I got my smoke on, now it’s nap time.” This isn’t uncommon in the states though. Especially NYC.

There’s something on its head.Right outside of a subway entrance I found something that reminds me of back home. Trash just dumped and left on the street. Toronto’s such a beautiful city you’d almost have to consider this a “beauty mark”.We continued making our way downtown as the temp got warmer.
