Laskay Emporium at Village of Black Creek...

The Laskay Emporium was moved from the village of Laskay, on Weston Road in King Township, 65 years ago in 1960.   It dated from 1845 in King Township.   In its last days as an operating general store it was owned by the Arbuckle family.   It was transplanted into Black Creek Pioneer Village in North York, at the intersection of Steeles Avenue and Jane, which was renamed Village of Black Creek in 2024.

Major renovations and improvements are underway in Kinghorn (King Road and Jane Street) at two of the historic buildings on the King Cultural Centre and Museum site.   The King Christian Church and the old King City Railway Station are receiving complete overhauls that include a full basement and HVAC system in the Christian Church, while the railway station is getting a complete restoration including new roofing.

Workers measure and cut new window panes for the old King City Railway Station.

Work on both historic buildings is well underway and should be complete later this year.

SHIFT by Richard Serra

 Replacing a glass balcony door

 shattered by Minus 18C temperature

The full glass balcony door in my Delmanor Retirement Residence apartment recently froze and shattered into thousands of pieces.   But the thousands of pieces of broken safety glass, in the door, incredibly clung together, intact.  Service people arrived and  replaced the door glass, but it was an exacting process.  The still intact shattered glass was taped on post sides with red adhesive plastic strips.   The rubber molding holding the shattered glass panel to the door frame was stripped off, and the taped broken glass panel was lifted out and replaced by a brand new glass panel.  The workers doing the job had expertly and quickly done the job and it was very impressive to watch.
