Location: Commerce Court South, Wellington, between Yonge and Bay
Date photo taken: 5 April 2018
This striding fellow is one of several bronze businessmen scattered around the city, mostly in the downtown core. Each one sports an overcoat, hat and briefcase and all are of the same portly dimensions. Captured in mid-stride, in thought or acknowledging a fellow, their placement and selective variety creates the sense, at least for me, that you are encountering not different figures, but rather the same one, just going about his business. They are the work of Canadian sculptor William McElcheran.
To find this guy, enter Commerce Court from the Wellington Street side, near the coil-mounted Jump sign, and go up to the upper level. As a bonus, it's sitting next to a scale model of Commerce Court.
