At Yonge and Dundas Square, anyway!

image 24671

Toronto's new entertainment venue and meeting place in the heart of downtown boasts beauty and entertainment.

Opened in 2002 theYonge-Dundas Square was created to bring more life and energy to the city. The unique urban space boasts impressive granite surfaces, a raised stage, a half-price theatre ticket booth, and 22 spectacular computer-programmed fountains that emerge from the surface of the square. The square accommodates events, displays or concerts of various sizes, including very large events by closing part of Yonge Street.

When not used for special events, the square becomes an urban plaza, an open space for the public to enjoy. Weather-permitting, the fountains will be operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Buskers entertain on the square while visitors enjoy the cafe style seating. www.toronto.com/attractions/listing/100519

This is Yonge and Dundas Square, at 5:30 PM today.

Hehe, the local Costco here in Montreal's West Island area has had Christmas trees and decorations (for sale) out on display since the last week of August! It was 30 degrees (86 F) that week. What a surreal experience that was.

By the way, I still need to send you those links, Elicar. I promise to get around to it sooner or later, I just have been away from my computer (and Citynoise) so much these days. Sorry about that.

globalization; corporatization; it's all about brands.
no offense, it looks like times square, ny canadian style

zagg: I put up my x-mas lights up last night :D

No offense taken joey. It was really modelled after New York's Times Square and, London's Piccadilly Circus. There were pro's and con's about the "development". I. for one prefer what it is now if I do not look up at the billboards rather than what it used to be, seedy establishments. There are still some seedy establishments nearby, sad to say.

Don't worry EvilG. We all have lives to lead.

all in all it looks very nice and modern, sorry that they push Christmas on us so quickly, i have people already with Christmas decorations on their homes and its not even thanksgiving day yet, too bad, thanksgiving day was such a nice day, an american holiday for us to give thanks but the business world wants people to start shopping, i hate it when they take all the decorations down the day after Christmas as if Christmas meant nothing, when it means so much to Christians, to Christians the weeks after Thanksgiving day are called advent weeks, waiting and preparing for the birth of Jesus, and the Christmas holidays start on Christmas Day and continue until the Baptism of Jesus. please my friends, do not take Christ out of Christmas.

@Jack: Amen.
Hallelujah Jesus........


Dundas square's our crappy version of the infamous "Time Square".
Even the square of Time Square's capitalized, haha.
