Notes from a psychogeographical Thursday night in Toronto — quicksand included
4 Comments
The following is an account by Nadia Halim of a recent psychogeographic wander-through-Toronto. It was a short walk of about two hours but as you'll see, a lot can be packed into a Toronto walk (see route here). It's also not complicated. You can do this by yourself or get a friend or two or eight and go for a walk with no destination.

We met at Bloor and St. George. Though we used to walk most Thursdays, I hadn't walked in ages, and it was good to see some of the old crowd again. It was a clear, mild early-autumn night, and with TIFF on and university students flooding back into town, the city seemed wide awake and lively. Where would we go? What would we see? A police car flipped its siren on and raced along Bloor towards Yorkville, as we watched. So we decided that was a good direction in which to set out.
