Toronto General Hospital (late February 2003): I stopped in at Toronto General to check on the destruction of the much beloved Charlie Conacher wing.

It made sense, I suppose: it wasn't like the hospital was going to give every single worker on the project his own key to the wing.

The most significant, and tragic, period of the hospital’s history, however, was the summer of 1847, during the height of the Irish Potato Famine.
The sick were immediately sent to the hospital, where they were treated either in the “Emigrant Building,” or the “Cholera Hospital”, both of which were located at the southwest corner of Adelaide and Peter Streets or at the General Hospital building at King and John.
All the buildings within the Hospital Reserve were demolished in 1861 or 1862 and subsequently the block was redeveloped as residences and commercial buildings, which were gradually abandoned and demolished through the twentieth century.

Toronto General Steam Tunnels (November 2002): Following up on earlier explorations, I made a few further visits to the recently abandoned Charlie Conacher Research Wing at Toronto General Hospital to probe its newly discovered depths.
On each trip I made, the wing was further sealed up: temporary cinder block walls began to appear to block off all access, doors began to be nailed shut and more and more "DANGER due to: demolition" signs began to appear.
But some of those pipes had been labelled "To Banting and Best", and if these tunnels were going to go to the University of Toronto, they could be damned sure I was coming with them.
