Welcome to Toronto, where Toronto is so Toronto that it occasionally out Toronto’s itself. If it would spend more time actually planning development or following through on the Transit portfolio and less time creating plaques about its plaques maybe, just maybe, it wouldn’t be so f’ing Toronto.

Alright, fellow Torontoites. Where exactly is this plaque? According to the link, it’s on Montrose Ave, just south of Christie Pits. But a casual glance at Google street view (presumably from long before the plaque was installed) suggests there’s nothing at that location resembling the background in this photo. So not much to go on. If I’m going to go in search of it, it would be nice to narrow the search area…

Yeah, according to the map it’s just to the west of the Bickford centre… but I’ve never seen it. Hmmm… next time I’m there I’ll go searching.

I got someone to verify that it is there… but it wasn’t heritage Toronto that erected it!

Cool, thanks! I’ll go take a look next time I’m out at Christie Pits. (Frankly, I would have been surprised if this was a real heritage Toronto sign).

Well, obviously. If it had been, it would have clearly stated at the bottom, “This Heritage Toronto Plaque Was Erected by Heritage Toronto.”
That one-liner comment was totally unnecessary and recursive.
