1. Roach Rama?

:rofl:

Maybe that should be franchised!

I love the painted car on top of the painted street. I mean, that is too cool. The black and whites are great and everything, but in every case I love the color more. Toronto seems like a very colorful city!!

It looks like a great day to go exploring, too.

3. Best part is the Roachorama is not only a great head shop

but their café has a funky patio where you can bring your own combustibles and get high under the locust trees. And the food is outstanding, even though they could serve Cheetos and Twinkies and it's doubtful most of the patrons would feel hard done by.

:hippie:

2. So very fascinating.

Sometimes I only have little time in a new place, and just shoot and shoot in order to later sit and study what all is there.
That is how your photos strike me. I want to just zoom in and check it out.

I LOVE the painted car on the painted street as well, but also many others in these threads. It's an adventure to see all you posted.
And I must go with the color, I need the color for my explorations of a new place.

4. More about Kensington from Wikipedia:

Kensington was also known as "the Jewish Market". Jewish merchants operated small shops as tailors, furriers and bakers. Around 60,000 Jews lived in and around Kensington Market during the 1920s and 1930s, worshipping at over 30 local synagogues. After the Second World War, most of the Jewish population moved north to more prosperous neighbourhoods uptown or in the suburbs. During the 1950s, a large number of immigrants from the Azores, fleeing political conflict with the regime of António de Oliveira Salazar, moved into the area and further west along Dundas Street. The arrival of new waves of immigrants from the Caribbean and East Asia changed the community, making it even more diverse as the century wore on. The Vietnam War brought a number of American political refugees to the neighbourhood, adding a unique utopian flavour to local politics. As Chinatown is located just east of Kensington, the Chinese are now the largest ethnic element. During the 1980s and 1990s, identifiable groups of immigrants came from Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Iran, Vietnam, and other global trouble spots.
