Evergreen Brickworks, Toronto, ON

I visited Evergreen Brickworks today and was not disappointed. The former brick factory and quarry (which supplied the building of local landmarks like Casa Loma and Massey Hall) was converted into a beautiful city park opening in 2010. You can read more about the history of the Evergreen Brickworks here. Part of the interest for me is how this park links into the other trails, pathways, and parks that eventually feed into the Lower Don.

The first thing I noticed upon entering were the murals on the East side of the space: 

There was a big line-up for coffee once I got to the central area where the old brick buildings are located...must be good! I noticed a bike rental shop (not currently open) - good to know for future visits. 

Before starting my hike, I made a new friend, Stan! Poor little Stanley was shivering although his mom had wrapped him in several warm and stylish layers. 

I started by going right on the trail from the starting point of the bricks factory and it took me to the highest point in the park. The trail wasn’t too slippery despite considerable rainfall the day and night prior. 

After getting some good high up views, I took a trail that snaked down from the upper trail back down into the former quarry/valley. It fed into the Beltline Trail. Both Brickworks and the Beltline had a fair number of families out walking but not in a crowded way. I felt a quiet comradery and peace seeing so many folks (and pets) enjoying nature together. I walked a bit of the Beltline, and then looped down to a side trail off the Beltline that zigzagged up to Chortley Park. 

I find the history of land very interesting (it has a lot to due with the politics of where I was raised, I’ll get into it sometime). When I reached Chortley Park, I remembered the story Alex McLeod (a Toronto-based 3D digital installation artist) had shared in his interview with CBC Arts. I highly recommend a listen, but basically a decadent, lavish palace was built in the space in the 1910s as a house for government officials. It was too expensive to maintain and within 20 years was in disrepair - finally being torn down in the 1960s. And now it’s a park. That’s crazy right? Here’s a read on the palace and its death, with historical images.

One fun interactive “learning object” I found along my way was this holographic sign that is demoed through the video. If you’re from my team and you make it this far (1) I’m shocked and (2) I hope you get a kick out of this cute little graphic. 

More images from my hike (including some timely Christmas trees):

Old fashioned houses still located in Novosibirsk. Which reminds us the city has a long history and it starts several centuries ago.

A group of New Yorkers pause to watch the Seinfeld finale play in Times Square, 1998. There was a similar phenomenon during the Friends finale. I personally would not find watching a TV show on a street corner that appealing but hey to each their own. #photography #history #historia #seinfeld #seinfeldfans #newyork #timessquare #1990s #urban #metro #urbanphotography #neon #cityscape #newyorkcity #comedy #sitcom #television #televisionhistory #cityhistory #advertising #podcast #dirtyhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxI0uZpioe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mfegxrkkoa27

Matera by night. A vivid memory of my last holiday before the global lockdown. Each home belongs to a family group. In the past people used to share everything from the birth to a new member to the death of an other... Everything under the same roof. . . . . . #mindofatraveler_ #materagram #cittadeisassi #cittadavisitare #cittadafotografare #ancientarchitecture #ancientcity #italytravel #italiadascoprire #italianhiddengems #traveldestination #traveldiary #cityhistory #historicalbuilding #pastforthefuture #preservation #cittaantica #pugliagram #italianheritage (at Matera, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMUGoHKBmFY/?igshid=1xpc5xoc8ryap

I love to walk.

Since I can not visit other countries (at least for now), I always try to walk in my own country whenever I can.

There are still a lot of places I do not know.

That’s why I went to Chaves. Typically Portuguese city, located in the north of Portugal with very accentuated historical characteristics.

Chaves is so far north that if we go further up, we find Spain.

City known for its food, such as ham and pastel de Chaves and the thermal baths. Well, the water coming out of the fountains is quite hot and with a strong smell of sulfur. The population is typically northern, of course, I mean the characteristic way they express is amazing.

Let’s see the pictures.

…

Adoro passear.

Como não posso visitar outros países (pelo menos para já), tento sempre passear pelo meu próprio pais, sempre que posso.

E ainda existem muito sítios que não conheço.

Por isso fui até Chaves. Cidade tipicamente portuguesa, situada no Norte de Portugal com características históricas muito acentuadas.

Adoro o Norte. É tão diferente do sul.

Chaves fica tão a norte que se formos mais para cima, encontramos a Espanha.

Cidade conhecida pelas sua iguarias, tais como o presunto e o pastel de Chaves e pelas termas. Pois é, a água que sai das fontes é bastante quente e com um cheiro forte a enxofre. A população é tipicamente nortenha, e claro, refiro-me à forma caracteristica como se expressam.

Vamos ver as fotos.

🙂

          RoadTrip to Chaves I love to walk. Since I can not visit other countries (at least for now), I always try to walk in my own country whenever I can.
