Doors Open day 1

Today me and daddy went to see some buildings around town, and met up with some other guys that also have Aspergers. We actually went through the Meetup website, and Doors Open was one of the events listed.

We went and saw City Hall.

Having a drink

Council chambers

This is half of a model of Toronto, and you know what, it's made out of PAPER!!!!

This is the other half of the model

The model of City Hall from when it was going to be built

This is the model of what City Hall looks like now

This is City Hall in the background, and in the foreground is Osgoode Hall

We also went and saw Osgoode Hall, basically it's a court house that was built in 1832, you can see the roof in the foreground of this picture.

There is a really fancy floor inside.

This is a HUGE painting of the Queen

The skylight in Osgoode Hall

One of the fancy chairs

There is a very special building in downtown, it's called the Canada Life Building

At the very top are lights, and they actually forecast the weather, lots of people see those lights, but there are only a few that actually know what those lights actually mean.

Beacon signals

• Green------------Clear weather
• Red------------Cloudy weather
• Flashing Red--------------Rain
• Flashing White-----------Snow

Beacon Tower lights

• Running up------------Warmer
• Running down----------Cooler
• Steady-------------No Change

The weather forecast is updated 4 times a day.

The view from the 17th floor

 The Canada Life building used to be the third tallest building in Toronto when it was built in 1931.

This is the Scotiabank Theater.

Looking to the west

The street on the left of the picture is University Ave.

 

It's a great view of the city

more fancy lights

I want this carpet, it looks like a great place to run and binky on.

 We also sold one of daddy's cards today, so it was a very good day. And tomorrow we are going out to see even more buildings, so stay tuned for that.
