Queen Saulter
Sparks fly from grinding rails, replacing streetcar tracks on short segment on Queen Street East. Scope seems to be limited within the block, but diversions reroute from Broadview to Coxwell up to Gerrard Street for 2 days. Rails were worn, and maintenance was scheduled separate from major construction at Queen and Leslie, not to slow that down. (Queen Street East at Saulter Street, Toronto, Ontario) 20151107
Brick oven
Custom-made pizza in only a few minutes, when the fire is already hot. Friday afternoon at 3:30, bakery wasn't busy, so a good destination for a casual business meeting. Strudel and cookies for dessert, could have brought fresh bread home. Chose location so that friend could beat traffic from city centre to the east end, he dropped me off for the westbound subway.
