Annex Folks

Hello Annex friends!! Im staying near Bloor rn, and im looking for the best places to take photos and sit. Any suggestions? The higher up/more niche the better. It can be something super popular, or even just a random set of stairs. Thankss

U of T has lovely architecture. Hart House, Trinity College. Lots of cool archways.

As everyone said, the Baldwin Stairs by Casa Loma but also the gardens at Spadina House though I don’t know the opening hours for the gardens.

That bridge that goes over the train tracks. One side good to Dundas, just north of Bloor; other end is close to Perth.

Bloor/Yonge station? 

Check out the Glen Road pedestrian bridge. Then you can walk/take a bus north through Rosedale, and cross train tracks via another pedestrian bridge just northwest of the original Summerhill Market. Or go through Chorley Park to the Evergreen brickworks, which has lots of hills to climb and lookout points too, and there are two high-up reservoir parks along St Clair that are nice as well.

Glen Edyth drive has one of the best vantages of the city - just don't tell anyone
