There's more than meets the eye to Eglinton...
We all know about the Eglinton Crosstown. 15 years of construction, hundreds of decimated businesses, and communities left perpetually wondering what the line would mean for their spaces.
Now, the line has opened, and it's finally time to capture the stories that lie along Eglinton.
Join me as I talk about the 25 stations on Line 5, the cool little things that most people may not know about, and connect the dots on what this stretch of Toronto says about our city. You'll get a chance to ride the line like a tourist, get some stamps of Line 5 stations, and might even get a taste of some classic Toronto comfort food?
Stations we'll be visiting:
* Mount Dennis
* Oakwood
* Laird
* Aga Khan Park and Museum
* O'Connor
Topics that may be covered:
* Architecture
* Stamp culture (wait, WHAT?)
* Community stories
* Arts and culture
* Nature
* Transit [OF COURSE]
* ...and more!
How we will navigate
This is a Jane's Walk that will involve a mix of transit (riding the LRT) and walking. As a result, there will be a cost to entering the TTC. This is around CA$3.30 for an Adult fare. If this is an issue, please reach out to me at allen.tz.lu@gmail.com and we can discuss alternatives.
