Why did you start your blog? Blogiversary?
I began simpleposie as an experiment in thinking and writing about art on December 5th 2003.

How long have you lived in Toronto?
Most of my life off and on.

What are some of the changes in Toronto that you have seen in your lifetime?
Well, they used to give away a lot of free stuff at the CNE. The Leafs used to play at the Gardens. There used to be way more light industry in the downtown core. Toronto has become, in my lifetime a fabulous place to eat out for dinner. The Queen West Gallery explosion. Let's see... Condo, Condo, Condo!
