This is what makes me love this city so much - this kind of unique, un-anticipatible delight. (The singular, in the Derridean sense...) There seem to be so many of these singularities here.
Hi Lucila,
We forget the exact location but (we think!) the entrance to this laneway begins on Fairmount, just east of Parc Ave., maybe right beside the (unmarked) Sufi/Islamic centre? I think then you walk south. Or it could be north. But half the fun is getting lost...
Does anybody know where this is exactly?
