Queen/Bathurst Panorama

by Joey deVilla on February 22, 2008

The block of buildings on Queen Street West between Portland and Bathurst Streets — the one pretty much destroyed by the recent six-alarm fire — has been my backdrop for accordion busking since my very first day.

In its memory, here’s a panoramic shot of that block of buildings, taken by my friend and first boss Kevin Steele (click the picture to see it at full size):

Even after two years away that area still feels like home – is it wrong to be happy it wasn’t the other side of the street with Shanghai Cowgirl and the Bovine?

Yes, right opposite Shanghai Cowgirl – and of course Gandhi, the best Indian takeaway in the city.
