PAN AM TORONTO SIGN IS A HIT

 A sign of Toronto proudly displayed beside the fountain in Nathan Philip Square on Queen street has been the hit of the summer. Toronto Ontario Canada is the largest city in the country. Host to the 2015 Pan Am games.

When seen by the side, the colours show up.

From the front the colour is white. I took in the excitement at the square for awhile before I headed off to the Beach Volleyball at the Exhibition grounds. The evening ballet in the water troupe was rehearsing so was getting in the way of people's pictures that wanted to have one from across the water. A simple name but there was a lineup to have the picture in the O. Selfies with Toronto in the background abounded too.

Tourists and locals, i.e. Torontonians  alike wanted pictures. No one was shy to ask a stranger to help get a picture.

People waiting for their picture with the sign.

The Panamania stage makes a nice backdrop for the sign. The artist who created the idea must be thrived. To have art photographed, experienced and simply enjoyed is more than anyone expected. Apparently social media has made it go around the world. It is a draw to the centre of the city. I know it drew me. Just to experience the fun of the place. See smiles on faces. The poses in the letters different for the variety of people who chose to pose there. 7 simple letters! Just the name of a city but an easy way to be part of the overall Pan Am and Toronto summer. There is a big debate of where the sign should go once the games are finished. Meanwhile each day draws a huge crowd simply wanting their picture with the sign.

Even a tilted view gives a different perspective. City Hall famous since 1967. Many memories for me at different times in my life. Another memory created and even a small story to tell.
