Another reminder fr me of growing up with the CNE in my life. When I was younger almost every display in the Food Building gave away free samples. Some were not free... like Tiny Tom Donuts and Double Bubble were a couple I would always spend what money I had.
Andy: it was almost like an early Hallowe'en without having to dress up. my bags were always full and I always had room for those Tiny Tom Donuts!
Ann: you used to get free samples of new foods (I remember when mac 'n cheese came in a box!) but now it is mostly fast food vendors, though I haven't been there in ages so can't tell you how yummy it is.
Great shot - and totally unappetizing building and sign. I wonder what the designer was thinking? the democracy of food? thou shalt not tempt me food? Interesting...

The FOOD sign is so big, you won't miss it. How's the food? Yummy?

So stark, descriptive but colorless. Almost industrial. Fascinating.

I like the modern entrance, and the angle in this picture!
Good choice for this theme!

What an interesting post for the F Day! I'm definitely for Food! This is rather stark, isn't it? Hope your week is going well! Enjoy!

Hello,
Firstly, I feel no Beauty is ordinary! That reflects in all your pictures...
It's funny that there is a building that is just called FOOD. It certainly makes a clear statement. There's no doubt about it.
is this like a food court?
cool photo, & perfect 'F' post!

Interesting...
Interesting - hope the food is wonderful!
I guess it is rather stark. It is definitely Modernist (built in 1954).
Maybe because it gives me fond memories, but I love this building. I also really like the starkness and the simple font of the 'FOOD'.
Interesting reactions from you all. I love that, too!
