About a month ago, I said on the blog that we had partnered with two local artists for our Junction House project. The first was Leeay Aikawa and the second was a surprise.
Well the second one is no longer a surprise. It is Ben Johnston and he started work on his mural this evening. Here is a photo (courtesy of Shanique Small – thank you!):
It should be completed this week if you’d like to stop by 2720 Dundas Street West. I am planning to be there this Saturday to take some photos and generally just hang out in the Junction.
Stay tuned for more surprises.
This morning blogTO did a post on how to spend a day in the Junction neighborhood of Toronto.
I love the Junction. I’m planning to move to the Junction. And we have a development project in the area called Junction House. So know that I am entirely biased when I talk about this neighborhood.
A couple of my favorite places from blogTO’s list include Mjolk (Scandinavian interior design), Gerhard Supply (menswear), Playa Cabana Cantina (tacos and tequila), and Indie Alehouse (brewpub).
One spot that wasn’t on the list is the Italian restaurant, Nodo. Big fan of this place. Great pastas. Great negronorum. Yes, the plural of negroni is allegedly negronorum.
One of the big game changers for the Junction – besides the reintroduction of alcohol in 1997 – is the Union Pearson Express train.
Many people only think of it as civilized airport travel. But it also provides an incredible inner city service. It shows you the potential of Regional Express Rail in this region. We need more of this.
We’ll be providing an update on Junction House very soon and I’ll be sure to blog it. So stay tuned.
I like the built form aerial photography of Jeffrey Milstein. Here is one of Stuyvesant Town in New York City:

It shows a symmetrical plan view that followed a particular dogma at the time. But it’s also a view that few people or residents would ever see or appreciate.
The above image is from his exhibition at the Bau-Xi Gallery here in Toronto (340 Dundas Street West). It runs until December 16, 2017.
On January 25, 2018, the exhibition moves to the Benrubi Gallery in New York City (521 W. 26th Street). Check them out if you’re interested.
