Something about this building, on Commissioners Street in Toronto, and indeed the entire brownland east of downtown, has always attracted me. What we called ‘the bridge and tunnel drive’ – Commissioners, Unwin, Cherry, Canary, was a favourite drive of my son’s when he was young. The literally proud Visitor Parking sign now presides over emptiness. What was this place, and what will it become? The haiku, created from the sign’s letters, and involved enjoyable hours of anagramming and composing, followed by meticulous hours of photoshopping.
