It snowed in Accordion City over the weekend, which while inconvenient for drivers, makes the city look terribly pretty. Here are a couple of shots I took yesterday.

The first one is of Sullivan Street, looking east. You may not know it, but this quiet little street is located in a residential neighbourhood tucked between several noisy areas: Chinatown to the north and west, the formerly-boho-now-boutiquey Queen Street West neighbourhood and the club and theatre districts to the south, and the financial district to the east.

Here’s a shot of the house, Big Trouble in Little China. Paul, Sam and I occupy the basement and first floor; the upstairs floors are a loft unit occupied by our neighbour Richard.

The facade is historic (there’s even a historical society plaque), but the house interior is from the future!
