Before work today, I headed over to what I guess was the Richmond Hill city hall to book a permit for wedding photography. Since I don’t live in Richmond Hill and previously never had to deal with the city, I’ve never visited their city offices. But I have visited the Scarborough ones (in Civic Centre), the North York one (around Mel Lastman Square — North York Civic Centre?), and the Markham one (at Markham Civic Centre). The difference with Richmond Hill was that the offices are in a normal high rise. In fact, I drove past it the first time because I didn’t expect it to be a generic office tower!
Surprisingly, the non-descript office tower houses the various city deparments and the council chambers! It must be depressing to be mayor, and work in a typical office building. The Parks & Rec offices are the best though, they’re on the top (8th floor) and have a nice view over the area, which mainly consists of Times Square, the various eateries on East Beaver Creek and some AMD buildings in the distance.
