Wandering Around Yorkville

One of the most elegant shopping districts in Toronto is Yorkville, in the heart of downtown.














How elegant is this neighborhood?














Even utilitarian structures like telephone repair boxes are covered with flowers!














A destination of Toronto tour buses, Yorkville is characterized by old and new architecture...


















... like this old fire station...


















...dwarfed by new condo high rises.














It isn't surprising that buildings are going up everywhere - homes and retail spaces are among the most expensive in North America.














But you don't have to be rich to wander through the neighborhood, enjoying its beauty!














And be reminded that, if it's summer, it must be baseball season!














And biking season!
