Fort York’s Not Moving! – but the City Surveyor who assigns property numbers throughout the municipality has given Fort York a new address: 250 Fort York Boulevard. This will make it easier for taxis and tourists to find us, or those unfamiliar with our busy quarter of the city. The old address of 100 Garrison Road will continue to function to avoid confusion on the part of emergency vehicles who may not have updated their records. And the postal code M5V 3K9 remains the same.
Garrison Creek There’s something very satisfying about Toronto’s ability to surprise us over and over. An example is The Vanishing Point, a website where some daring urban explorers describe their visits to “the least visible margins of our constructed landscapes,” notably the city’s sewers. Their accounts are accompanied by clear, stunningly-lit photographs. Here is their post on the burying of Garrison Creek: http://www.vanishingpoint.ca/garrison-creek-sewer-history
