It’s been a few months since I did a blog post about doors. If you like doors, you might want to check out a couple of previous posts:
- Spadina Open Doors
- Late doors (of Mt Pleasant cemetery)
If you go to Norm 2.0’s blog feature Thursday Doors, there are links to even more doors that other people have blogged about. Check them out!
