It's always nice to see a classic grand railway hotel when coming in to any city and not just office buildings. That's my view everyday. Not that I look anymore because I'm looking at my phone or tablet, but it's nice to have there and to pass by it when walking up to work.
Can't be many views (like this one) in downtown Toronto where there is only one recently constructed building (barely) in the frame.

With the 70s-looking trainset and washed out colour, you could have tricked me into believing it was from the early 90s (aside from that little bit of 1 King West poking through).
I love the pre-condo boom Toronto. I miss it, actually.
Me too. Although thinking of all the barren parking lots and brownfields helps put things in perspective.
