What a weekend.
Almost 4,000 people came through the Junction House sales office for our neon popup gallery. At one point throughout the day on Saturday, there was an over 1 hour wait to get in. The team had to implement a viewing time limit in order to keep the line moving.
The event surpassed all of our expectations in terms of visitors and buzz. Many of the local businesses in the area also experienced a pop in foot traffic as a result.
The Downtown Yonge BIA and Neon Demon Studio (as well as many others) did an incredible job coordinating and curating the exhibit. And we are thrilled to have played a small role in bringing it to life.
What is clear to me after this weekend is that people really love neon (and, of course, Instagramming said neon) and that there's a market here in Toronto for a permanent museum. It's going to happen.
For those of you who missed the exhibit, there's no shortage of photos online. Check out #JunctionHouse and #NeonMuseumTO to get started. A big thank you to the entire team for making this happen.

Today I stopped by the Exploring KING exhibit that is currently on at 134 Peter Street. It is an exhibition celebrating the design of KING Toronto.
It explains how the design came about. Note all the different unit layouts on the floor.

Today I stopped by the Exploring KING exhibit that is currently on at 134 Peter Street. It is an exhibition celebrating the design of KING Toronto.
It explains how the design came about. Note all the different unit layouts on the floor.
It includes (foam) study models that go as far back as 2015. That's four years of design iterations.
It has samples of the glass blocks that will be used on the building's facades.

It has a VR setup that allows you to explore the building's inner courtyard. It's going to be a fun space.
And there's even a KING Toronto candle for sale. (Aromatic woods with spicy overtones.)
I thought the overall exhibition was very well done and I am thrilled to see architecture and design so front and center. It is an exciting time to be living in this city.
