Today's [daily dose of imagery] is a 2 minute walk from my house. Yay for Chinatown/Kensington Market! The photo faces south down Spadina Avenue. It's on the corner of Spadina and Baldwin Street, which takes you to Kensington Market if you go right, and to some fabulous restaurants (Thai, Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian, Vegetarian, Mexican, etc., all in one block) if you go left (by the LCBO). On the right is edo, which spells its name as 'ido' in its menus, a pretty good Japanese noodle house. The tall yellow sign with red lettering that says TP at the top is the Tap Phong Trading Company, where you can buy anything from chop sticks to huge restaurant-size woks to bamboo screens to blenders to tupperware to sushi sets. They have everything but old phones. I checked. (My bizarre need for an rotary dial phone was satisfied at Active Surplus, hurrah!)
