For the last long weekend of the summer, A and I went to Toronto to catch up with some friends, family, and to see some of the sights.
We started out with a look around the John Street Roundhouse Park. This roundhouse was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway around 1930, and now has been partly converted into a brewery, furniture store, and railway museum. As a rail museum, it's still in its early stages, but shows a lot of potential.
