This place has become our neighborhood pub for now. It's within walking distance from our temporary home and serves a nice variety of beers and food. But most importantly, they have trivia!

City cemetery
I can't find any information about this cemetery on the internet, but it is a very interesting site. an old cemetery right in the middle of downtown. The graves were not in great shape, but it was pretty amazing that they were still there even!
There was this plaque that gave a bit of additional info.

Mel's bench
Mel Lastman was the longtime mayor of North York - the neighborhood in Toronto where I currently reside. Apparently he was quite the popular politician as he has a whole square and amphitheater named for him! He even has this lovely bench. Maybe I'll see him sitting here one day...
PS: Hope you got your taxes done!
Pearls
I liked the design of this leasing/buying office. I'm not sure what the Pearl Condos are like, but the name sounds impressive at the very least!
Cultural differences
I know this isn't my most artistic shot, but buying milk in bags is something that really had me confused! Thanks to a fellow blogger and a recent trip to Starbucks (where we saw the milk bag jugs in action), we now know the proper way to store and pour milk.
Step up
I love the shape of this building and all the different sized windows are a bonus! Hope you enjoy looking at it too.
The giant
For some reason I liked this sign. I think it's the cock. Hope your week is off to a good start!
Blue sky reflections
I think the sky looks even bluer reflected in this building than it does for real. Hope the skies are blue wherever you are!

Black and white home
Wish it could be ours. We're not visiting any homes this weekend, there's not much interesting on the radar. Hopefully more things will become available for visiting next weekend.

Bunch of benches
One thing I can say about Toronto is they don't skimp on the seating! You can see at least seven benches in this photo, not to mention three picnic tables. And there were plenty more benches around this park too!
Details
This was some sort of planter outside an office building. It has the names on Ontario towns listed on the spiraling metal. I thought it was sort of interesting. I bet it looks even better once things get a little green!
Look up!
Sadly we've been having a streak of gray skies here in Toronto. Not great times for photo taking, but I try. We're supposed to be getting some sun on Thursday, let's hope the weather forecasters are right!
Full time Canadian
It's not a great shot, but here's a view of downtown Toronto as seen from my flight in last Friday. I'm now a full-time (sort of) Canadian! So far, I'm loving it here. Now we just have to find a house. We had another round of visits this past weekend, but still nothing promising. Hopefully something will come open soon!
April theme day: Edges
When the two buildings in this photo come together, their edges create a third building in reflection. I love the effect.
