I went to the Distillery History Distict www.thedistillerydistrict.com/htmlsite/ for the fist time last summer. I really liked it. So, last Sunday, I decided to go out there again. Because of the season, there is not much happening, but the galleries are still as amazing as ever. It is one of my favourite places in Toronto.

Even the barrel is drunk!

I wonder if my spirit will become purer if I go inside this container?

grange: 1st Mar 2006 - 13:57 GMT

Elaine , didnt you learn anything for the artic picture . Now you have started a penis string of crude humor ...WELL DONE !

Peter: 1st Mar 2006 - 14:05 GMT

grange: didnt you learn anything from the rest of the site? everything here is susceptable to becoming some sort of ! its just a citynoise thing ;)

grange: 1st Mar 2006 - 14:06 GMT

I like these shots too . History is interesting , well at least for me .
Something you may not know . You use tobe able to get those barrels for distillrys . Maybe you still can but not around here anymore .
So you get the barrel , which has been used well. pick the brand you like ie , whiskey , rum .etc . Take 2 gallons of hot water and poor it into the barrel, stopper it again . Let sit on its side but roll it 2 inches every day till you get to the starting point .Takes about a month .Then pour out the liquid . It will be whiskey etc . that was soaked in the wood .It will be clear as they add colour to it at the distillary .You can add colouring if you like .BE WARNED , you will not know the alcohol amount unless tested . So sip wisely. And thats grange's class for the day .I hope I have made your day a little brighter , or drunker ....lol

Elicar: 1st Mar 2006 - 14:24 GMT

Elaine, I never thought of that. But now that you mentioned it....

Grange, I think I need a drink after your lecture.

Elicar: 1st Mar 2006 - 14:29 GMT

Opps...I missed three comments as I was making mine.

Yes Grange, they had washrooms then...perhaps not as modern as what we have now, but the distillery has been modernized... I did take a picture of one of the washrooms. I will post it when I get home. The mirrors are are set to two heights: one for big and one for little people.

elaine: 1st Mar 2006 - 14:42 GMT

sorry, it's me, i had a humourectomy! you nearly got a lecture on freedom of speech, but luckily i cut it!

Peter: that spiral-shaped conveyor is nuts!

grange: 1st Mar 2006 - 16:12 GMT

NO NO , its me Elaine. My english and grammer have been a we bit off as of late .
I do have to say that I have been inspired by the contents and rabble rousing of citynoise, truly . So once I get rid of my commador 64 computer ( no matter what pics i load into it they still come out looking like pong or space invaders ) I'm going to show you guys some of my area and things i find interesting .
Cheers .

I remember visiting that site during the "Doors Open" festival. This was before they restored the buildings. Judging by the photos, the restoration was a success. I remember one of the tour guides telling us that there was a lot of theft prior to the restoration. Some of the old vents from the roofs were stolen (aluminum). I guess somebody really needed the extra cash!.

When I used to take the GO train to Union Station, I remember seeing some old antique trucks parked behind those old buildings. Does anybody know where they originally came from?. I'm an old car buff, and I was wondering if those vehicles were used by G & W.

S, the Distillery District is really worth visiting if you are into the arts, culture and of course, entertainment. The Sandra Ainsley Gallery has some very interesting hand blown glass art. It's not in my price range, however! Average price is in mid-5 figures, and the most expensive one on this visit of mine is US $ 460,000.00
