The Urban Voyeur Strikes the GTA!

Hello everyone!

In fact, I have been lurking the streets of GTA for two months! I am still doing what I have been doing for all the time back in the streets of Greater Vancouver, that is, quietly observing how the city functions (don't get yourself wrong by thinking that I am some Peeping Tom -- since the original meaning of the word simply means "the one who sees" according to Merriam-Webster). Nonetheless, I do get satisfaction when the city or area in front of my eyes is lively, diverse and tolerant; a place that I enjoy over and over and like to become a part of.

The pic above (looking west from the southside of Front Street, just east of the Jarvis Street intersection) was taken during my ENVS 5121 class field trip to the East End of Downtown Toronto (Thursday, October 12, 2006), one block away from the famous (and now gentrified) St. Lawrence Market.

Hopefully I will have the time to provide you with the sights and sounds of this wonderful place that is also the financial hub of Canada. Stay Tuned!
