this is the end.

i've decided to terminate this blog -- at least for now -- and focus on my personal blog over at www.dieyuppieburger.tumblr.com

i will still post the type of content i've posted here, but also other, more diverse topics and images.

feel free to contact me at afgreenberg@gmail.com or anthony.greenberg@ryerson.ca if you so desire.

thanks.

3 July 2010: an afternoon in the park

27 june 2010: the gardens of gore vale

i really love everything about my storetop apartment right across from trinity bellwoods park, but i'd be lying if i didnt admit i covet the residential houses on gore vale avenue that border its eastern edge. i usually am biking down gore vale at a fast pace, so was pleasantly surprised today when i had a chance to walk down the street and recognize how beautiful the gardens are in front of some of the homes. i was thinking of writing up a post about an article i remember reading by a researcher in the united states who did a qualitative study about types of gardens, and how they tend to reflect the political leaning and sociological profile of the lawns owner; that non-manicured, natural lawn reflect left leaning politics, and more education. and i was thinking about how this is an interesting thought when walking through little portugal and comparing the types of lawns and how this can be a good visual signifier of gentrifyers and original inhabitants... but i think instead of delving into this i might just take my analytical hat off for a second and say, hey everyone, isn't summertime beautiful?

so, hey everyone. isnt summertime beautiful? aren't cities in the summertime really, really fucking beautiful?

enjoy.
