This is a restaurant /bar/pub on Queen Street West that I'm kind of curious about. I remember seeing it on my first trip to Toronto about two and a half years ago, and being amazed that there was anyplace still in existence that was built in 1822.

This is in the fashion design district area, hence the theme of the mural.

I love this artist's murals. He has another one on College Street.

Bike Racks

These are on Queen Street.

This city needs more bike racks. There's a lot of bicyclists in Toronto. I never realized about the shortage of racks until I had a friend who did a lot of biking and every time we would meet for lunch he would have a hard time finding a secure place to lock his bike.

Those bike racks don't get quite as much use in the winter though!

I also whacked my hand one one of them once, I was swinging my arms a bit as I walked and WHAM! They are right at the height of my hands. I also walked into one once when I was walking with a couple of friends.

I would like to ride a bike but I am too scared of cars.

An old print shop on Queen street, Toronto

I love how the hole has been cut in the sign to fit in the air conditioner.

This place is not there anymore.
