I work downtown. I live in the Upper Beaches, 10 kilometers away. It is about 10 minutes by car, about 35 minutes by streetcar and about 40 minutes by bus and subway. It is at least 2 hours on foot.

I have ventured on walking home lately. Sometimes, I am quite motivated; sometimes, I hop on the streetcar midway.

Downtown, Corktown, Riverdale, Leslieville, The Beach, Upper Beaches. That's my route.

My starting point; BCE

Berczy Park

Flatiron Building at Wellington and Front

St. James Church on King Street East

A manual water pump across the street

Little York Hotel, built 1879-1880; a heritage building

Parliament and King

At one of the numerous construction sites I passed by

A discount guitar store on Leslieville

At Leslie and Queen. I have no idea what this is for. There is no other signage on the building

A lonely graveyard at Kingston Road and Woodbine

I still have about half an hour to go.

So, sometimes, I hop on this

It makes it a lot faster to get home!
