[PHOTO] Ten photos from "A Time Travel Adventure at Galleria Mall!"

Sunday afternoon's "A Time Travel Adventure at Galleria Mall!" was the last of my three Jane's Walks, but it was a very worthwhile one. Tour leader Shari Kasman took her Janeswalkers through the Galleria Mall, as well as the Wallace Emerson Community Centre and its associated park, pointing out past proposals to transform the area into a higher density area. As noted at blogTO, the northernmost end of Wallace Emerson is set for radical changes in the next few years.

The brick of the outer walls of the Galleria looks warm.



The mall's restaurant isn't especially busy.



Here, Janeswalkers were holding up Pantone colour sheets with the very 1970s colour scheme used in the mall.



These panels listing the major retailers lies on the western wall, facing towards Lansdowne.



I've taken many pictures of the Wallace Emerson Community Centre over the years, going as far as back as this 2009 photo post concentrating on the architecture and this one concentrating on the Tile Project mounted at the far end. I was saddened to learn that this stunning Brutalist structure will likely be torn down to make way for the new plans.





The dogwoods were in bloom, as were other trees with their loves and flowering plants with their vibrant colours.







Here we end with another wall, this one from the Wallace Emerson Community Centre.
