Each Monday, Spacing will bring you some of the popular posts from our sister blog, Spacing Montréal. We’ll keep an eye open for topics and discussions that are pertinent to current public space issues in Toronto.
• The image above, titled “West End dusk,” is one of the latest Photo du Jour posts on Spacing Montréal. They’re a great window to an atypical and beautiful view of the city.
