As I reflect on 2025, my 7th year on this platform, I celebrate the @BlueJays’ phenomenal World Series run, @MovieMayor’s 10,000th post shewing the satirical underbelly of our fine city, and @OneGalsToronto’s views of the delightful terrazzos that I used to just float past. 1/3

Another McIntyre & Taylor cover near Bathurst and Bloor. This one is slightly domed and has Toronto spelled correctly. #manholecoverMonday

One of the wilder views I’ve come across lately. - The former Bank of British North America snagged in maximum security fencing at Dufferin and King W.

McIntyre & Taylor were primarily known for fireplace accessories. Get a load of this fantastic typeface:

Second place goes to this one. Same Sunnyside building but something of a side entrance, far as I can tell.

Fantastic moon last night. Couldn’t hope to do it justice, so I did my best with the spiderweb of streetcar wires instead. - Queensway, near the Roncesvalles, Queen W, King W union.
