I walked home last night from the west, passing from Dundas West station and up over the rails over the Wallace pedestrian bridge and down onto Wallace Street on the far side. The soft rain, in the light of evening, lent itself to beauty.

[URBAN NOTE] Not a public laneway, east of Queen’s Park

Signs notwithstanding, this laneway separating all these condo towers does at least look like a real street.
