 Hillcrest and South Hill are slightly below the radar neighbourhoods, both are lovely to walk through. We walked from the Wychwood Streetcar Barns to Spadina House during Door's Open weekend here in Toronto. The weather called for showers but they didn't show up until we were at Spadina House and just downpoured on the walk up to St. Clair. Any way sliced I enjoyed the short walk between both venues, each neighbourhood is unique. Hillcrest is more bohemian save for Brackondale Hill and east of Bathurst, South Hill is much lower key than Forest Hill north of St. Clair.  Camera: Olympus OM-1n, MC Zuiko 50 F1.8 lens.  Film: Kodak Tri-X 400,  Rollei Supergrain 1+15. 

  I had to go out to Oakville to do two things, one pay my home and auto insurance and drop a watch off at my watchmaker in Bronte. I made a day of it, weird no longer being a resident and now a visitor. I even stopped by the family house, the new owners are doing some serious renovations and additions but they are quite tasteful and I approve. I'm not going to miss raking up leaves from seven maple trees one bit.  The decision to roll with one of my Olympus OM-1n's was a wise one, a small compact set up for a day trip.  Camera: Olympus OM-1n, Zuiko lenses.  Film: Kentmere 400, Ilfotec HC 1+31.  x
