At the base of the new building! I took a picture in September!

I stand corrected — though it IS on the edge of the Queen West I cover, which begins at Simcoe St.

This is a near-final assembly of the Parkdale poster.

All the pictures were taken on one day. I captured the south side in the morning and the north side in the afternoon.

These are the times when no parking is allowed on those sides of the street.

A set of collages of the faces of all the city blocks on Queen Street West in Parkdale, Toronto, in eleven rows stacked vertically. It starts at Dufferin, looking to the south side and continues to halfway down the page at Roncesvalles, then continues on the North Side, back to Dufferin. A title at the bottom reads "A SUMMER DAY IN PARKDALE" with smaller text that reads "Queen Street West, July 31, 2015"
