Looking north up Parliament St, from south of Spruce St, in the Cabbagetown neighbourhood of Toronto.
In the left foreground, notice the small portion of the mural featuring Ben Wicks, a cartoonist, illustrator, journalist, and author. The Ben Wicks Restaurant & Pub was once located at 424 Parliament St. A few other constants visible in both photos on the right include No Frills, and in the distance, you can see the corner tower of the building formerly known as the Winchester Hotel.
