There are a few chess tables situated in the park on Queen Street East in front of Metropolitan United Church. One can often find old men congregated there, accusing each other of cheating at chess, banging on timer boxes, and at other times contemplating their next move, chin in hand. Tonight there was also a table of Filipinos playing cards.
There was a lot of cussing, but I think they toned down their language when I came around. They didn’t want me taking photographs, but I said I was only going to shoot the table and they calmed down.
