(2009), Toronto saw a massive population growth in a period of thirty years due to the extensive construction of high-rise condominium towers which led to the city being divided into three distinct cities: “city of the rich, the shrinking city of middle-income households, and the growing city of concentrated poverty.” According to the article the division is caused by the development of condominiums as the new form of gentrification which

The Rainbow Serpent by Zzilla, 361 University Avenue Nuit Blanche is an annual sunrise to sunset arts festival that happens in downtown Toronto. It transforms the city into a never ending supply of art installations from all mediums; paintings, sculptures, dances, live action, digital media and much more. These events can range from being just an observation piece (following Brecht’s theories) to full audience interaction and immersion (following Artaud). The art installation that we saw at Nuit

Metro, studying Literature and History. Not only a student, I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and female. No, I don’t bring in a paycheck, but my life is fulfilling, gratifying, deserving and challenging. Will I teach, write, join the downtown business crew again, or become a clerk in the bookstore? Maybe I will. Whatever I do, I know I will strive to be a bit more patient, observing the tiniest of details, attempting to be more considerate and understanding of people, honoring their backgrounds

City Day 1: We arrived at Omar Torrijos airport via American Airlines early in the afternoon. We purchased our required tourist cards (3 balboas, as US dollars are called in Panama) at the airport, then caught a taxi for the 18 mile ride to our downtown hotel.
