Summer in Toronto can be fun. There's always lots to do. This weekend there is a huge garage sale in the Weston area North of Lawrence which is held once a year and consists of blocks and I mean blocks of the residents selling their wares. I of course look for books but in the past I have found lovely and unique items which was just too tempting and yes I have more than I need. I then needed my own garage sales, for a while and since my home is now staged I shall focus only on my books. Don't forget at the end of the month I shall be at Queens Park selling and signing my own with the Crime Writers of Canada. Also this weekend of interest to me is the Italian Festival on College Street between Bathurst and Shaw. They are asking that we take the TTC (nope). I like taking my car. Perhaps we should only have golf carts in Toronto to limit congestion. We could put a heater inside for the winters and better tires. There is also going to be a car show at Yorkville. What I have posted here is photos I promised of Open Doors (I think I promised). Open Doors is also once a year where doors to buildings not normally free, open up and in you can go. You will notice the Buddhist Temple which I didn't go into because there was no place to park and it began to pour rain. Notice the steps - no elevator. What I enjoyed was going for my bus tour of Islington avenue to look at the murals, that side of the city has in making their area nice. I like the way they take care of their space and no ugly gang member graffiti - Lovely. The rest of the city should look like this. I also went to see a new development proposal North of Dufferin, near the old Base. They had free coffee and desserts. Of course I had some. It was a fun day. Have a good weekend World. Take time for some fun and down time. Sorry for the repeated photo. I couldn't delete it without having to write this all over again. My bad.
