Yes, I think so. There's a lot to see. It's not a small exhibition and it is of another time.

I enjoyed seeing it. Some lovely photographs. Interesting overall because of how candid people he knew seemed to be and how engaged people he didn't know were in the photographs. They would likely not have looked the same way at an anonymous stranger taking their picture.

I wondered about this sign. It seems it was put there by Jode Roberts. More about him and the Toronto Sign Reimagination Unit at: www.joderoberts.com The payphone was there right into 2021 (StreetView). Gone by 2024. SW corner of Christie Pits, Toronto
