One part of the city that has changed immensely over the past few years is the area near Spadina and Front streets. I was in the area last night and had a few moments to spare so I thought that I would take a look at what’s there now.

I visited Toronto in April and loved it. Nice pictures by the way.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed your visit – it’s a great city to explore.
