What Toronto street is this?

[urbandreamer]

Here's a hint on the last photo I posted: the street shares its name with a very famous person that is seeing jail for the first time today. (I reckon that person wishes the cell was as pretty as this Toronto locale.)

The only person I know of that went to prison yesterday is Bernie Madoff, but I don't know this to be a Toronto street.

 

[Rob Banks]

Bernard?

 

[urbandreamer]

^Yes! Bernard, looking east towards Avenue Rd from Bedford. I'd live here over FH, for those that think I love FH.

Thursday, 12 March 2009 found me staring at this groovy old chair on _______, looking towards _______:

 

[ShonTron]

Annette looking east to High Park Avenue?

(The redundant trolley bus overhead pole was a big clue, then the churches.)

 

[urbandreamer]

Yes! Annette street churches looking at the bus shelter @High Park Avenue. I wonder if that chair has been taken yet?

1 week ago found me staring at this vista:

 

[Chuck]

Eglinton West, looking east toward Yonge, from just east of Bathurst.

 

[urbandreamer]

Yeah, Eglinton Avenue West @Old Forest Hill Rd, looking east; the view from that hill is spectacular. Minto towers look good in the setting sun....

Today, I went for a long walk. (6 miles+)

I began near here:

 

[adma]

Wolesley, looking E from Bathurst.

 

[urbandreamer]

^Yes it is indeed.

Several hours later found me in another cool part of Toronto, where I ate a very good (and spicy) chicken curry close to this location:

 

[Filip]

Queen St in Parkdale near Lansdowne.

 

[urbandreamer]

^Yep, to be precise: taken outside Good Catch General Store@1556 Queen St W, looking east.

Where did I eat?

NY Subway/Ghandi's owners latest restaurant, Mother India in Parkdale: damn good!

Where else was I today?

Here:

(Nice dog)

 

[andomano]

Might be a little too vague....

 

[Filip]

I'm willing to say Roncesvalles just before Queen St.

 

[urbandreamer]

^Correct indeed, Roncevalles between Pearson Av and Marion St looking south to Queen St West--with Film Buff on the left and that RC retirement home tower(s) on the the right==wish they'd implode it and start over, as it's celebrating it's 30th year in business.

Here's the view looking north up Roncevalles:

I really hate the gas station and strip plaza at this intersection:

Where is it located? (photo taken Monday, 16 March 2009)
