This isn't a great photo but this area of Yonge Street makes me kind of sad. It's representative of the end of an era and I guess a symbol of the future. Ryerson is putting a student centre in there and that's great and all but since they bulldozed the building last summer, there's no obvious development and it sits there as a reminder of what it, and music, once was in Toronto. You go down the street to HMV and their game and DVD section dominates the store. To be honest, I'm not even sure what floor the CDs are on anymore. I know I sound like an old crow talking like this but it was different then - better perhaps, more personal definitely (downloading music really isn't much of an experience, is it?) I guess I'm kind of traditional after all (at least when it comes to music stores...)
On a happier note, look at this gorgeous reflection of the sunset in these buildings?
