*In this episode I recommended the "The Smell of the Poppy" episode of the "On Drugs" podcast- that's also a good ep, but I meant to reference the "Race, On Drugs" episode

Queen and Ossington
33m · PublishedIt’s December, and I’m trying to get myself to like winter. This month, that means taking “festive” walks. Mostly in areas that look pretty at this time of year, but there are a few stops here and there that are a little bit more on theme. That being said- if you happen to listen to this any other time of year, it should hopefully still be an interesting and fun walk/listen!
As always, I am not a historian, and if I get something horrendously wrong please let me know so I don’t continue making the same mistake. I do track all my sources- you can find them on the link below.
Walk-along info:
Start: Queen St. W. and Ossington Ave.
Finish: Queen St. W. and Bathurst St.
Estimated walk time: 40ish minutes
