	Dear fellow explorers, On Saturday is the greatest exploring opportunity. The annual doors open event allows you to legally walk in to many historic buildings around the city. Check out there website and plan your trips. http://www.doorsop...oronto.aspx?ID=709 What do you wanna see?

	I'll be around the city for sure checking out some of the sites, on my list are: Knox Spadina, Knox College, MacKenzie House, Elgin & Winter Theater, Metro United, Ontario Heritage Centre, Commerce Court North, Royal Alexander Theater, Fort York Library, Fort York Armoury, and Fort York. Then I'm going to explore the fine beer selections at Barvolo!

I have about 20 things on the list right now but I need to map things out to see what actually makes sense. The rare book library looks neat.

You should give the Indie Ale House (Junction) or Stout (Cabbagetown) a try.

	I actually managed to sneak into a Don Jail Tour even thought I didnt have a ticket. It was not very exciting honestly, the whole interior has been redone.

Commerce Court North.

Damn! That was the one place on my list that I didn't end up going to! I suppose the 'Commerce' written on the ceiling is a bit of a hint. Nice to see someone using film, Axle. 1 King W next door was pretty fantastic, though.

Also, did anyone else happen to go to the 'Redesigning Toronto' talk at Fort York on Saturday? There were some interesting points of view expressed, and some great ideas as well.

I shot a sheet of film at each location I went to expect the Fort York Armouries, because I was dead tired from carrying 20 pounds of gear on the back all day long.

Totally worth the effort.

Looks like it! More scans would be enjoyed by all, I'm sure.

You can go to Commerce Court North anytime during business hours to see it. That ornate room is the banking hall (a CIBC).
