December 7: Lofty


I make my annual trek to Canoe.  Lofty view, perched atop the barstool, atop the building.  I see progress:  a new pedestrian bridge extends south towards Queens Quay, the new Ice towers, the Southcore financial buildings nearing completion.  The restaurant is perched on the 54th floor of Mies Van Der Rohe’s TD Centre.  Appropriately, Van Der Rohe’s Barcelona chairs are scattered around. TD Bank’s headquarters is next door with its stunning table, transported to its location by a crane.  What a feat that must have been in 1967.
