It was an unusual juxtaposition of nightlife seemingly transplanted from Toronto or Montreal with the backdrop of the glass CIBC towers, One James and Gore Park. Maybe it was the alcohol, but I thought for minute I had seen a glimpse of redemption for this woeful expression of 1970's antiurban megalomania. Now, how to make that happen more than once a year?
Well perhaps an open air bar? with music? That's the summer months anyway.

I had wanted to see the Artopia, but I had to get up early the next day :-(

I do like these Art Crawl/SSP get togethers, hope more people from the forum come along to the next one.
