16 November 2024 – I enjoy walking this ‘hood, this part of Fairview. It’s a quiet stretch of older wooden homes, all very human scale and welcoming, with their front porches and front gardens.

But this street, indeed this whole area, is adjacent to the Broadway traffic artery and lies within the ambit of the comprehensive Broadway Plan — which, for all its consultations and talk of public space, is focused on intensification.

Land Assembly billboards have become commonplace.

The future is on its way.

I’m with Graffito Guy. It’s gonna be ugly.

On a happier note!

The Very Large Waterfowl I showed you in the previous post has been identified.

In her comment on the post, Lynette d’Arty-Cross was cautious enough only to say she was “reasonably certain,” but that’s good enough for me. We’re looking at a juvenile trumpeter swan.

Thank you, Lynette.
