High tech building security

A mannequin in a raincoat keeps watch over the demolition site across from the famous Toronto Flatiron building. I worked a bit in the former Keg Restaurant site which was in this block of buildings being removed by Priestly Demolition in an area that will soon be home to a boutique condo (I think that means it comes with a tiny purse and high heels). You can see an artist rendition of the future site here.

Scotland Yard Timepiece

It is a cool clock, I wonder who the guy is on top of the piece. The Scotland Yard Pub waits for you to show up and enjoy a nice cold beer in the St Lawrence Market area at 56 The Esplanade. Toronto is full of great little restaurants and spring and summer will make for great times on the patio.

Banksy in the alley

0 comments Posted by Car at 5:26 PM

Banksy's Toronto graffiti still survives, barely, in a few places. Luckily he picked the right alley on Church Street because the building next door looks like it is coming down, while the second one away is down - done like dinner, nothing left but the splinters.

I was surprised to see that the Church Street Keg Restaurant has moved out of it's old building and into a new home on The Esplanade. I worked in that Keg for one night covering their staff party night - that's right I used to work for the Keg (Mississauga (the old Dixie-Dundas Keg) and the Brampton (the old downtown Brampton Keg)). Sadly, I just noticed that all my old Keg Restaurants are gone! I met and married my wife when we worked at the Keg and I have a ton of great memories from those days. Rock on Keg Staff.
