TORONTO TYPE

Have you ever noticed the dates embossed in squares of the sidewalk? They’re time stamps indicating when various sections were made. I like the fact that while striding into the future you’re also stepping on slabs of the past.

You’ll find this particular date on the first step leading to someone’s house. Anonymous workers crafted this stairway five decades ago. It must be satisfying to stomp on a chunk of history every time you’re coming home.
