This view across King Street over its low-rise buildings (mostly Victorians) to the recent high rises of Downtown Toronto's east side includes The Whitfield, a new Menkes condo tower rising into the sky over the Old Town of York area. The area is the built environment equivalent of a palimpsest, so it screams Toronto for its mix of new above old... and that TTC streetcar absolutely seals the deal in this image by the very aptly named UrbanToronto Forum contributor torontologist.
