Does anybody have photos of how the city looked like during the AIDS Conference? I'm curious as how the city looked like during the conference.

Specfically pictures of the 50 large red ribbons tied
to trees lining University Ave., banners that could be seen from the DVP and the Gardiner Expressway, City Hall illuminated in red and a flower carpet that was installed at College Street and University Avenue.

I was away in England during the time. BTW, Toronto got excellent media coverage in the London newspapers when hosting the conference.

Many thanks,

Louroz

I have a few from inside the conference - I was way too busy to do much more than that. I could post those if you want.

Alvin, that would be great if you could post those.

Many thanks,

Here they are - the quality is variable since I was more or less just grabbing shots on my way elsewhere in the venue.

Just past the gates, behind the delegates only area at MTCC north. That's also where a lot of the news reports uses as the background.

Level 800 - where the plenary hall is.

One regret - I wasn't able to take a pic of a delegate I kept bumping into, which is IMHO one of the hottest guy, ever.

Now should I post pics from last week's fetish fair? :p
