No DMs.

This was either Chinatown or Kensigton Market. Theyre next to each other.

Renters = poors.

You dont want the poors ruining the character of a community with their existence.

I'm losing bean purchasing power by the day here.. Soon I'll have purchase fractions of a bean.

Just a man and the payphone making connections with the world.

Analog Connections

Toronto, ON - May 2023

This is the last time I remember seeing anyone using a payphone. It was so rare I took a photo of it. @ianausten.bsky.social today inspired me to dig thru archives

Smiths off by about 100 years... Are the 1950s just a temporary layover?

We can make money off this.. Make it a televised event. With our current free range betting world, we can take odds.

All proceeds go into the public purse.

NIMBY's gunna NIMBY.. Bet good money if they had the power they'd rear down those towers and build 5-10 single detached houses to save "the character".

They don't want "more" renters is basically it..

I bet good money that those same people would tear down those towers if they had the power to..

They've always had em... The US is about power projection in all areas.

We've historically been luckily that their focus and leadership has been on other parts of the world and not US.. But now, Donny is here.. so....

Its a fur noodle!

If there is any comfort all military procurements are decade long processes.. This has most likely been in development for years.

So Trump didn't actively plan this for invading Canada.. It just a happy accident for him.

Alaska?

What did they have on tap? Better been a stout.

And now, not one is left.

The Don Jail was Toronto's most notorious prison. In part one of this episode, we'll explain why the prison was built and the ideas behind its design. We'll also talk about some of the people who spent time there during the 19th century.

The magic of payphones.. Before we discovered the notion of a phone in your pocket.

Hearst severed back in 1014?

I know he served a long time ago, but didn't realize how long. /s

This.. It's a 8week course to master the belt-buckle. But they expect us to get it right from a 10min crash course..

All puns intended.

Brutalism in bloom

Im mean I feel scandalized by that outrageous accusation..

Douggie cannot tell a lie... /s

Are you implying that Doug Ford lied? 😱

I always forget about snow mold until the melt and the stuffed up nose.

Its a good place.

Its funny how anytime Ive moved away from the city, the Don has been one of the key things Id missed.

Environmental portraits are awesome. I went for a mix, but also the rarity of seeing one in use I just couldn't miss.

People did very much love their private lives out in public on the payphone.

Now they do that anywhere on a cellphone.

It a on the moment decision. And people yelling into phones seem like the types who'd yell at other objects and people, and Id personally want to avoid that.

Thought it is the risk of street photography.

I've always enjoyed the view from there myself anytime I'm in town.

That's a great vantage point over the city.

Depends.. what did she get me?
