I always thought the T(oronto) T(ransit) C(ommission) (never "the subway," but definitely in contrast with "the streetcar" or "the bus") stations were beautiful - but also was afraid I was just being a small-town gawker who was overly excited about life in the big city. But not so! Thank you, Matthew Blackett and Spacing magazine, for this story on the colo(u)rful and even whimsical tilework in the stations.
On a related note, I heard on NPR this morning that Canada is trying to encourage more foreigners to come work in Canada. Pardon me a moment while I pack my bags.
