Little India by night
Last week was a busy weekend in Little India along Gerrard Street East (between Greenwood and Coxwell), during the Festival of South Asia.
But Little India is always a fun summer night outing. The street is filled with music, lights, colourful windows, street food. And you can always count on the effervescence around Lahore Tikka House, at 1365 Gerrard Street.
The place has been under ambitious construction for ages. It went from the tiniest little shack to a huge pink building. For whatever reason, they won't or can't use the second floor so tables are spread all aver the street level, under shiny fabrics. Quite exotic!
You're the piano man
Wow, that was fun! Yesterday, the 41 pianos part of the Play Me, I'm Yours program (which launched the countdown to the Pan Am Games 2015) were all on one site, at David Pecaut Square.
Each piano was painted by an artist from each of the 41 countries to participate in the 2015 games. Each piano was assigned a "piano buddy" to take car of it until the end of July.
As of today, all pianos were redistributed throughout the city, for us to play and enjoy until the end of the month. Check the website www.streetpianos.com for the exact location of the pianos.
The artistic event Play Me, I'm Yours has a life of its own! It started in 2008 and has now reached numerous cities throughout the world. This is public interactive art at its best!
