It’s unseasonably cold, just found out I’m gonna need a root canal, and I still miss Ollie a lot. But at least some parts of the city are starting to look up.

Locations (in order):

214 Bay Street (planters in front of Walrus Pub)
255 Bay Street (planters in front of CIBC)
36 King Street West (planters in front of ScotiaBank)
23 King Street West (planter in front of BMO)

I’ve really been digging on Mister X comics lately and I guess the city’s psychetecture is having an effect.
