The MaRS Simulacrum

The MaRS Centre currently occupies the Heritage Building, a former wing of Toronto General Hospital located at 101 College Street. The MaRS Centre is the center for the MaRS Discovery District, a not-for-profit medical research corporation, MaRS once being a backronym for Medical and Related Sciences.
This forward-thinking association and this brownstone, only fit when you consider that behind the facade that is the MaRS signage: a sheet of fake brick print containing the MaRS logo is steel. The wind will peel this layer away, revealing the MaRS is not quite what it appears to be, an uncanny display that questions the reality of the cityscape, but becoming a hyperreal truth in its own right.

Famous People

I saw this guy who looked like Paul Martin today. His hair was a little grayer, but yeah: him. I can clearly make this conclusion after having strolled towards him and past him without hesitation to stop as I made my way into Toronto General Hospital. Toronto General Hospital? Yes, Toronto General Hospital. There he was, pretty much standing by himself in front of the entrance, no one bothering him, impeccably dressed, playing with his phone, a nice, black car behind him (yeah, you think I, being "detail-oriented" could tell you what it was, but I couldn't tell you what a fucking car is). But, yeah definitely him.
