 |  |  | A Little UE in TO (first post)
< on 12/27/2007 7:25 PM >
|  | | | So ive been trolling these forums for a few months now, finally decided to post my first thread.
Around May of this year i found this little gem of a construction spot that overlooks the city, the spot is so blatantly obvious from the pics i wont even name where it is.... so i was in the area this week and to my delight i found that this spot is still explorable, even though some of the lower areas have been open to the public.
Entry is available through multiple areas and during weekends there is no one on guard. I plan on doing one final day shoot, anyone want to join me?
These are my pics...

| | | | Nicely done. I live a block away and have never made the effort. Nice intersection shots.

When I'm waiting at that corner it's usually a 35 minute wait for one streetcar. Heh.
Nice pics and definitely not hard to determine the site.

Do they not let you on? Are you talking about one that has space for you? What are you talking about?
I take the Dundas to and from work and actually work a few feet from that intersection. It is very rare that I have to wait more than 5 minutes, unless there is bad weather. Though, to be honest, I do not wait at that intersection. I wait a block away so I don't have to push and fight to get on the streetcar. I can't wait until spring so I can ride my bike again. Damn TTC overcharges!

You can always tell when you're watching Canadian television - the actors in the show are the same ones doing the commercials. |

| | | | Nice pics - I, too, was amazed at the number of streetcars, given that there's NEVER one when I need it...grr. I work a block away, but you say weekend are best, eh? (I work mon-fri. 9-5ish) - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (you can PM me) - nice hit.

| | | | It was nice to meet'cha Tomms, weather was a bit miserable but it could have been worse. I was surprised we got on the roof of that other building we checked out, I can't wait till I get that roll of film developed and scanned.
Here's a lockpick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you. |
