Location

A walkway between apartment buildings near Eglinton Square mall.

Participants

Frogman

Expedition

This was a pretty straightforward one. 63 to Ossington Station, Line 2 to Victoria Park, 67 up Pharmacy. I snapped a few pictures at the hashpoint and then headed up to Eglinton Square mall for some lunch. I got a falafel wrap and two veggie samosas. The food was pretty good! I sat around in the food court for a while, doing exercises from my current self-study mathematics textbook (David M. Burton, "A First Course in Rings and Ideals").

Afterwards, I headed up to take some pictures of the newly-completed tram stations. These stops are for the surface portion of the new Line 5 Eglinton, which was scheduled to open this year, and last year, and the year before that, and in 2015, and is currently slated to open next year although many insiders have mentioned that there is no credible plan for finishing the construction. My goal is to get my PhD before Line 5 opens and it appears likely that this will happen. The problems, though, are with the underground portion of the line; the surface section looks quite nice and ready to go.
