Thought you would be interested in this. Found this while recovering items from my in-laws flooded basement. My wife was the class of '84 in RTM. I saw this familiar name. Have always enjoyed your takes on Toronto...

Building Storeys was a collaborative effort between Heritage Toronto and a group of photographers. It was billed as a visual documentation and anecdotal exhibit of the city’s heritage building and sites.

Rob Ford, the new mayor at the time, cancelled the exhibit.

These abandoned red telephone booths, in the middle of nowhere. These were my obsession for many years. I'd venture to see them multiple times. Always fascinating, until I think the owners, tired of people trespassing on their property, decided to remove them.
