My Guild Inn Visit
I went to the Guild Inn earlier this week to see the work of the East Scarborough Boys and Girls on the site. Anyone who knows me, knows the Guild Inn is something I carry close to my heart. It is the reason I got involved in municipal politics, and the reason I ran for City Council.
It was a beautiful day first and foremost and the painting the East Scarborough Boys and Girls Club did has made a tremendous difference to the historic structure. They’ve painted window scenes over the boards that have covered the Guild Inn’s windows since the City closed the hotel nearly ten years ago.
I am going to stay away from the politics of the issue, because my visit was simply too nice to ruin by hashing on those feelings and thoughts today. I have to say their work made my visit brighter and marked one of the first times in over three years I’ve left my favourite park in the world feeling really good about having gone.
It also marked the first time I really played with videos for this site. I made a couple on a beach I’ve visited frequently while growing up in Guildwood. They have been posted on www.youtube.com/laforetdotca
Please check them out as well, they are unedited and candid.
