I kept looking for people I know in your protest shots and came up empty. I'm convinced that our mutually exclusive existences overlapping the exact same geographies in Winnipeg is proof the multiverse exists and our friendship is the wormhole between the two universes.
Anyway, my favourites were "Canoe ride ii", the one of you in Chinatown, the woman carrying the kid in the plastic wagon, the alley barn, the 5th Toronto photo of the women passing by, the light on McCaul St near OCADU, the St Boniface Sally Anne's, the grumpy but nice light one of your sis, and Orange Shirt Day.
Thoughts on Market Lands at the old Public Safety Bldg?
HAHAHA I love you sentiment of the multiverses of Winnipeg and our friendship being the wormhole, that's excellent.
Thanks for sharing which ones you are drawn to!
I think I know which one you are talking about when you mention McCaul St near Ocadu, but I don't exactly remember which street that was. Goes to show you that you've spent time in Toronto (which I know from reading your essays).
Honestly I haven't seen much about Market Lands! I know there were some renderings but it seemed like initially there was a plan for something else then I just looked it up now and the most recent imagining is a "creative hub" with places like "Creative Manitoba" and MAWA and urban shaman will be there. I really do like the idea of all the arts spaces being in one place.
McCaul's the second last Toronto one! The long beige apartment complex with the nice light hitting it. Anyway I know Toronto too well for someone who never lived there lol.
Yeah, I think there's some good potential with Market Lands and would love a central hub for various creative organizations in the Exchange, plus a captivating public space to engage people. There's definitely a lot of potential for something good, but the devil's in the details and how it actually comes to fruition, I suppose. I just hope that site doesn't lie vacant for eons -- there's been a lot of that sort of thing happening in Edmonton on prominent sites. Developers promising to build something grandiose, so the old gets torn down, only for the developers to renege on their plans, and prominent intersections and sites are left with brownfield sites for years... despite, like Winnipeg, Edmonton having plenty of existing parking lots and brownfield sites to develop without tearing anything down.
