I know that it is sometimes hard to tell that I have a degree in history but yes it is true. One of the side effects of this degree is that I do have a love of history and many things historical. One of the things that love is old buildings. Sometimes, I lament the fact that Toronto is not very good about enjoying its past and has torn down many buildings that should have been saved and might have made this city more interesting. (I is not a bad city but some cities that we have visited have demonstrated a greater respect for the past.)Thankfully, Toronto did save some buildings and has a record of the past. Right now, while the city is celebrating 150 years of history, Harbourfront has several exhibits on display showing us what city's past. After reviewing an article about the photographs and displays, I want to get down to Harbourfront and see the displays. http://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/visualarts/architecture_winter09.cfm
Hopefully with more exhibits like this, we will learn to respect and enjoy the city's past.
