All fall down
Posted on September 22nd, 2024 – Comments Off on All fall downI must admit, I was skeptical. The invitation to explore The Bentway neighbourhood through “the building of the route across the city as well as the big set off or ‘fall’ of the dominoes!” seemed contrived. However, the limited-time nature of the conceptually simple event proved to be rewarding. Maybe even genius.
Pretty sure everyone’s familiar with the cascading row of dominoes setup so you get the idea of what this event was about. Simple on the surface.
Within, though, there was depth to the stunt.
The path of Dominoes led through the Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre. Never been here before but I aim to return.
It’s a little oasis on the edge of an international airport and a bustling tourist sector.
It’s neat to see what actually exists right now — not just what can theoretically exist — at the heart of a modern urban metropolis.
I don’t know to what extent this event was advertised but it seemed to bring out a good number of people. I daresay, there was anticipation in the air.
When that last block went over the edge there was a hearty cheer.
Props, Toronto. Props.
P.S. In case you were wondering the bricks were made of aircrete (or something similar), a lightweight type of concrete that’s less dense than regular concrete. I picked up one of the blocks and although it was lighter than I expected, I suspect that if I’d dropped it on my foot from a carrying height I’d still probably break a toe or two.
