The Canary Restaurant,

This place is just around the corner from the Distillery District, in down town Toronto. It's been quite a few movies. I used to drive past it regularly on my way to work, and it seemed as though there were always a film shoot going in front of it, or in it.

old painted signage on one of the buildings (destined to be "reclaimed" as condos) in the distillery historic district.




once you enter the main gooderham & worts brewsite (now full of expensive shops and various arts organizations), you are greeted by various vestiges of the original structures, such as this metal sign. it looks like it was cut using some rotary and other hand tools, and filled in with some sort of material (black paint or other filler, perhaps?).


on the eastern edge of the distillery lies one of toronto's oldest (and now closed down) greasy spoons, the canary.




and finally, i can't help but post some new and old type on posters outside the young centre.
