The Piano Towns development, on the southeast corner of Dupont and Westmoreland, is nearing completion, units selling at more than $C 1 million each.



I photographed the site in 2011, just another empty lot left after a 2009 fire.

I also photographed the place in 2017.

The Dovercourt Park that anchors my neighbourhood looked fine Friday evening, as I was walking south along Bartlett Avenue.






At the same time that I did my laundry, I also went out to take a look at the four corners or so of the intersection of Dovercourt and Hallam, the arguable centre of Dovercourt Village. Everything looks cool and familiar under the deep blue of twilight.










Whenever I go do my laundry at my chosen laundromat on Dovercourt Road just north of Hallam Street, I always head down to 77 Food Market on the corner. Sometimes, I pick up sundries there; sometimes, in warmer weather, I just go look at the flowers on display, ready for sale by the sidewalk, arranged neatly on banks of old milk crates.
