With all the security measures currently going into place in Toronto, it reminded me of the freedom we had to rove around and explore Spadina 28 years ago!<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-58721224183194728112010-06-12T19:08:40.864-04:002010-06-12T19:08:40.864-04:00Great Piece Eric!
