Where In The World?

Or in the city, at least?

A hint can be found in the Coat Of Arms. Or a misleading hint anyway.

What's that? Yes, it is from a heritage building in Toronto.

What's that as well? Yes, I am very lazy, so this is across the street from where I live.

Yes, the front of Yorkville Firehall, built in 1878. They daren't knock this down.

Although I just noticed, the ugly tentacles and hulking skeleton of the hideous, honking, big condo being built next door now looming, as it expands over the firehall.

What is interesting is that the buyers of these condos have objected to the potential sounds of fire engines. See "I Don't Believe It!" for shocking details!

I guess a 57 story condo, with 2,000 square foot units starting at $1,000,000, has a bit of pull with city council.

Sounds a lot like the first five city councillors of Yorkville > next post.

Below is the story behind the song "Blood is thicker than water". A song about estranged loved ones who may or may not be homeless. Hear it at URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuYXasJgv3A

I saw an attractive young lady singing on an abandoned street corner under the influence of of a controlled substance, a teenage girl dressed in a soft pink jogging suit carrying newborn baby, a man walking aimlessly down a busy sidewalk talking to himself,a woman trying to raise herself from a cold wet sidewalk to a battered wheelchair,an elderly woman wearing clothing stained with urine as she pushed a loaded shopping cart down a sidewalk, a security guard uniform located in the personal backpack of a young man who after receiving services for the homeless would check it back out to go to a job later on. All of these people are homeless. Before casting judgement, remember that life is unpredictable and everyone who is in a wheelchair was not born that way. I thought and hope we all think, she's some body's daughter; he's some body's son.
