Between 1209 Queen Street East, where I live, and 378 Queen Street West, where I work, is a diverse, rich, and interesting cultral and social segment of the City of Toronto. I have been through this section of the city almost every weekday, mostly on bike, and never gave it much thought until one day it occurred to me that I spent the last decade of my life in this area. So I started taking pictures of the more interesting buildings, landmarks and stores. These pictures are by no means artistic and they are just snap shots, and in no particular order. I add pictures and comments to each picture as I find more informtion about them. So check back once in a while for updates.

If you like Queen Street, please visit Jude’s Queen Street Gallery. She has many excellent photos of the west side of Queen street which I don’t have pictures of. http://www.pbase.com/gallery?gallery_id=2336976

I would like to thank Andy Chiu for his ideas and suggestions on this project.

Loved this gallery. I spent many hours riding the Queen car from Sunnyside to Woodbine in the late 50's. Looking forward to a Queen W gallery! Very impressed with your use of lenses.

This is a great gallery of Queen Street W. When the weather warms up, I must go there for some photos.

Great shots! This is my old neighbourhood and your photos bring back a lot of happy and crazy memories. I lived for almost 10 years on Queen above Henry's. Do you have any shots of the building?

Very nice pictures. Some with very intersting compositions, shot from unusual angles. Living on the same city we're all bounded to shoot sometimes same places. But each one of us has his own view and that's why I love your photos.

Thanks Gilbert. We are often oblivious to the surroundings we are accustomed to. If we just look around next time, we will discover something wonderful we have not seen before.

Amazing, I know the area and I think you have done a superb job in displaying the good side of Queen street. Cheers Yu-Lin.
