For this post I thought we'd explore the window displays of two of Toronto's most significant retailers. Window displays are a beautiful way of engaging the public not only for purchasing purposes, but as a way to experiment with art. These window displays offer a street the ability to engage with the city's inhabitants through a form of art while continually changing, enlivening the life of a city's streets.
Holt Renfrew (located in Yorkville) - HR is a Canadian owned and operated high-end fashion store akin to Saks in the US, or Selfridges in the UK (which is owned by the same owner as HR). HR has been in operation in Toronto since 1889. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holt_Renfrew ) If you look closely under the overhangings covered in snow are the large windows used for the displays. image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2004/...3319d3.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/136/3...2a0c0d.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/136/3...a35cce.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/135/3...557744.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/157/3...54fe64.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2111/...dbf124.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3258/...de8da7.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/165/4...c43662.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2379/...4ef0ae.jpg?v=0 ) HBC - aka The Hudson's Bay Company is Canada's oldest continually operating company, beginning in some form since 1670. These photos are of Toronto's historic Bay store located at Queen St. and Yonge St. image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3001/...f5203b.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/44/18...4f88d2.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/39/12...g?v=1144154865 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1194/...72b10f.jpg?v=0 ) The Arcadian Court, pictured below, was once a lively centre of Toronto's wealthy, but has since declined in popularity. It is located at the top of the HBC building. image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/76/20...80116f.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/107/2...fa6ab8.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2014/...d4c821.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/89/23...432856.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3195/...ae068f.jpg?v=0 ) These last few photos are of the Christmas displays. The sidewalks often become very cluttered around the Holiday Season with children and adults alike enjoying these beautiful displays. image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2008/...59b8eb.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3279/...ee4e56.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http:// farm4.static.flickr.com/3191/3053594600_aa21b24fae.jpg?v=0 ) image hosted on flickr  ( http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3228/...8110bc.jpg?v=0 ) Last edited by Looking/Up; January 28th, 2009 at 04:50 AM.

The Arcadian Court was seriously compromised by a half arsed reno back in the 80's, I believe, and unfortunately it totally looks 80's inside now. The room still is beautiful but what gets into these companies to modernize spaces is beyond me. They still do a wicked chicken pot pie, however... the same one since the 20's. The sauce is a bit suspiciously yellow in colour, but the puffed pastry is divine! I would eat a track shoe if it was covered in perfect puffed pastry..
