The Fringe Walk joins Jane's Walk this year

Sun. May 8, 2011, 10 AM. FREE. This year marks the 23rd running of the Fringe Festival in Toronto. Most of the venues used during the fest were built for purposes other than theatre but have gotten adapted in neat ways to put on shows. Reusing old spaces for creative endeavors is one of the themes Jane Jacobs put forth in her writings. Coincidentally, the Fringe's original and central area is right in Jane's old stomping ground. Join me for a tour of this great part of Toronto. START POINT: Across from Palmerston Library 560 Palmerston Ave. (2 blocks west of Bloor and Bathurst.) Here are the sites, I'll be covering.
