I didn't realize that there were this many storeys to this complex. Shows how effectively the upper levels are set back.

Is that the public housing complex on Clarence Street? In my opinion, the best deal for a poor student to live in the market....just lock your doors. My buddy lives there and the apartments aren't all that bad.

Nice shot of the Lester B. Pearson Building. It's sometimes hard to appreciate how this building's massing was modeled after the Sphinx, in honour of Pearson for forging the first UN Peacekeeping mission in the 1950's during the Suez Crisis in Egypt:

Interesting... never heard that one before...


So I guess it fits in well with the glass pyramid down the road.
