20230811. Alcohol in Parks 5. Dovercourt Park (Aug 5) – another favourite. The park is dissected by a sidewalk connecting Salem Ave north and south. On the east is the closed off playground and to the west is a baseball field. So imbibers left and children right.

20230805. Alcohol in Parks 4. Campbell Park. You might know its location by the water tower in the distance. It is also beside the yet to be opened GO Transit Davenport Diamond Greenway. The trains are fairly quiet along this square park – a favourite so far.

20230725. Weston 3: The low-rise with the large prominent stairwell. The brickwork to the right of the front door may suggest that this stairwell enclosure was added on. Could there be an elevator lift in there too?

20230717. Why is new suburban infrastructure so boring? Or have bridges and underpasses always been this way? Do the strips of colour and stone median count as adornment?
