50 years ago today (March 26, 1973) The Young & the Restless debuted on CBS. It’s been the #1 daytime drama for 34 straight years now, and is proportionately even more popular in Canada where it actually airs a day ahead of the U.S. While I’m not that regular of a viewer anymore, I’m loving all the #YR50 celebrations this week. And yes, I purchased this mug to celebrate it all in my own way too. • • • #igerstoronto #yandr #yr50 #soapopera #cbs #genoacity #crimsonlights #coffeug #cbsdaytime #soapoperadigest (at Genoa City, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQ285ny5O0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mies’ Illinois Center (1970) was built on lands that once housed the Illinois Central Railroad freight terminal. Today it remains a sprawling mixed-use development, which includes the excellent Chicago Architecture Centre. • • • #chicago #illinois #usa #chicagoland #theloop #illinoiscenter #lookup #architecture #modernism #internationalstyle #miesvanderrohe #chicagoarchitecturecenter #skyscrapers (at Illinois Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqCUXL5NER_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

CP agreed to drop its long-standing objection to passenger service on this freight line only after 1979’s Mississauga Train Derailment (North America’s largest peacetime evacuation until Hurricane Katrina). Today about ten GO trains ply these rails to Milton each weekday along with many more freight movements throughout the average week. • • • #igerstoronto #toronto #ontario #canada #etobicoke #bridge #cprail #gotransit #humberriver #oldcityofyork #railbridge #metrolinx #humbervalley #torontophotography #urban_toronto (at Lambton Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1JRpXt_4P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The bronze wolf and the transit shelter are both part of this “Lichen” installation by Mary Anne Barkhouse and Michael Belmore. It is a statement on nature versus culture. • • • #igerstoronto #kleinbergontario #vaughan #ontario #canada #yorkregion #sculpture #art #torontophotography #wolves #maryannebarkhouse #lichen #michaelbelmore #canadianart #mcmichaelgallery (at McMichael Canadian Art Collection) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpwBab4NEVY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For 42 years the Toronto Sculpture Garden (TSG) has commissioned temporary artworks by over 80 artists. It is currently displaying Afrophilia which is “a love letter to Black people. This work is inspired by the generation of young Black people who are driving a shift in self-perception and changing our global consciousness of Blackness to appreciate its immense value, diversity, and beauty.” • • • #igerstoronto #toronto #ontario #canada #stlawrencemarket #art #publicart #afrophilia #blackart #torontophotography #urban_toronto #frantzbrentharris #blackartistsnetworkdialogue (at Toronto Sculpture Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpawZtKPBA2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
