Scott Pilgrimage - PART II

Here's Part II of the Scott Pilgrimage that I went on with R and our friend Will, from Dreamview Photography.
Part I is HERE.

First off, where Scott calls Knives at Bathurst and Bloor. The phone booths are different, but the Insomnia sign is there..

Secondly, the Toronto Reference Library, where Knives attacks Ramona. Sadly, we can't take pictures inside without a permit, but some drunk guy came up to us and asked us to take pictures of him. R's written about that.

Nest is Lee's Palace. The art outside is different, but still pretty cool.

This Honest Ed's. The interior is described by Julie in the book as "Do you know how when a baby is born it just cries from the sheer horror of being alive?"

Dundas Square (or Yonge-Dundas, since that's the intersection). Always stuff to see here.

We actually ate here, at Sneaky Dee's. It was absolutely delicious. The nachos were like ambrosia.

Instead of just saying 'north', the bus I saw at the Dundas Coach Terminal was going to Montreal.

Cameron House. That picture was staring at me the entire time I stood outside.

And finally, The Chaos Theatre, which in reality is some sort of community center for the homeless, which just makes Gideon even more of a dick for turning it into a club.

 So that's the end of the Scott Pilgrimage. I have a couple of extra pictures that I may put up sometime next week, such as the house at Scott's address (which looks nothing like the book), or alternate angles of certain places.
