Day 5: Walking to Central Park, visiting the Museum of Natural History, and seeing Six at the Lena Horne Theater. We had to. ;)
February, 1991 - A blast of winter, Bay and Adelaide Streets, Toronto.
Why am I posting this 32-year-old winter photo in the middle of the summer?
Because of something interesting that I discovered about it when looking at it under a lupe before scanning.
Note the F. W. Woolworth Co. building in the background at left. Built in 1949, it was demolished in 1997 and served as a parking lot until 2007, when a shady developer who was convicted of embezzling, and also had ties to the Russian government, partnered with a certain shady New York real estate tycoon (who's currently in the news a lot lately) to build on the site. The development would become the 65 story Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto.
Fast forward to 2017. After numerous legal problems and Donald Trump becoming US President, the Wall Street Journal reported that the 2016 Panama Papers, which leaked worldwide illegal financial activity, revealed it was the Russian state-owned Vnesheconombank (VEB) bank that provided financing for the construction of the hotel in 2010.
Consequently, the building (now renamed the St. Regis Hotel), and how it was financed, may provide help to investigators seeking to establish a link between Trump and the Russian government.
Trump is in debt up to his ass to the Russians. We're about to find out just what exactly Trump had to give up to get the tens of millions of $ it took to get preferential credit.
Stay tuned. :-)
