Church & Wellesley a photo by Loops666 on Flickr.

Flickr's Andrew Karagianis took a nice picture of the building occpupying the entire northwestern block of the northwestern block of Church and Wellesley, nucleus of the gay village.

This was taken at the intersection of Church & Wellesley, an area of town I had heard about in the previous few years. I was on the Yonge subway line, and I figured I'd check it out. I was expecting everyone I saw to be flambouyant and outwardly gay, like a party in the streets, but it was just like any other district -- just a bunch of people eating at restaurant patios -- although the buildings may have been a little more interesting to look at than those in the rest of downtown!

I can't imagine this building standing for much longer--a roof shouldn't sag so much!
