Christie Pits, Toronto. Toronto Maple Leafs at home in the Intercounty Baseball League, a sandlot league in Central and Southwestern Ontario. Since 2009, when this game was played, I have lost my notes about who the opponent was. The Leafs are in the field here, and I still remember that they won.
In 1909 the city converted an old sandpit at the corner of Bloor and Christie and called it Willowvale Park. Everybody else called it Christie Pits, though, and in 1983 the city finally gave in and renamed it Christie Pits Park.
On the streetcar I sit in the long-legged persons' lounge at the back, if there's a seat. .
I prefer the big view here. Click the photo if you want to see it.
It was dark today so I re-edited an old photo.
The mural is by Nunca (2009). I fear it may be covered up by a building going up on the parking lot, but don't really know if it will be or not.
Update, September 2018: The mural wasn't covered up; it was destroyed. The building it was on was torn down to make way for the new building.
Toronto is still light-deprived, and I haven't had much time to take photographs, so here's another old one, from 2013.
Sun and a chance to shoot photos forecast for tomorrow.
