No, thats not a flying saucer landing between two giant urinals. It is Toronto City Hall. Situated adjacent to the magnificent Old City Hall and located in Nathan Philips Square, it is one of the city's finest public spaces.
During the summer months the square is host to a buffet of cultural events, including this year, The Toronto International Film Festival Box Office. In the winter the fountain area becomes a skating rink, a great spot for a romantic and cheap date.
Locating TIFF here should add significantly to the mayhem, bringing thousands of ticket buyers to the already bustling square. I am quite excited to be working at this great location. My perch inside the tent allows for some great people watching amidst the background of a tree lined urban gathering place. And the word on the street is that our Mayor is excited too, apparently he twittered about us the other day.
