I am 34 years old.
I have lived in Toronto for damn near 65 years and it still never ceases to amaze me. (yes I said 65 years….a random high number used to get my point across). Karen, Terehz, DeAndre and Karen’s sister Kelly (visiting from Montreal) and I all went to explore the Distillery District. The area is located at the foot of Parliament St in downtown Toronto and was the site for the Gooderham and Worts distillery. The distillery was founded in 1832 and was at one point the largest distillery in the world. In the 90′s, the remaining distllery operations were shut down and the area – already surrounded by empty lots from demololished buildings – was left in a derelict state. In 2001, a project got underway to revitalise the area. What stands there now is a 13 acre area with shops, restaurants and entertainmment venues all in the shell of the old distillery. What does this mean to me? Great historic value in the heart of the city and great photo opportunities. There are literally hundreds of nooks and crannies that are so perfect for photographs. We had a great time. Visit when you get the chance.
Thanks for reading
