Bank of Nova Scotia, King & Bay. Watching over you - but not necessarily your money.

Excuse me soldier but I don't think Camp Bud is a real army base

^ What's amazing to me about that house is all the space in front of it with no vendors. It would be the perfect spot for a supermarket with lots of fruit & veggie stands outside.

I always thought it was two separate houses. The grafitti is interesting, as well, especially the green part that has been covered over with red writing.

The Bank of Nova Scotia's mythological figures were designed by Frederick Winkler, with other examples of his work at Postal Station 'K' at 2388 Yonge. The large bas relief inside the banking hall is by Jacobine Jones, and features major Canadian industries associated with the bank - including fishing, mining, logging, farming, and ... picking bananas.

What a great old bus.

Permanent Halloween in Parkdale

Vegetarians, avert your eyes. Turkish Festival, YD Square

Outside Roy Thomson Hall. Wouldn't mind seeing this opened up to the street a bit. Would also like to see the cafe open all the time

This was a couple of weeks ago. The 2nd annual one, I think. Well worth dropping in to visit. Very inexpensive gift items - soaps, taffy, etc. Lots of entertainment.


And thanks for the additional; 'Bud' bus pics. Only a beer company could afford to restore something like this to this level.

androiduk: What cafe?

The lower level isn't even open to TSO subscribers, unfortunately.

^ It looks like the outdoor patio for a cafe. If it isn't, it should be. Would be a pleasant place for all those office workers to have lunch or dinner.

I seen corporate type parties here in the past.

The upper level is open - for ticketholders - in the good weather when the Symphony are playing; the bars inside the lobby sell drinks, ice cream, chocolate covered almonds ... and that's about it.

I'm curious as to why it's not opened. It's such a great little spot.
