When I first started going to the "festival", the event was centred on Bay & Bloor, with all the theatres in that area.
Over time, as theatres disappeared in the area (the late, lamented University & Uptown Theatres, the Towne, etc.) along with the emergence of Roy Thomson Hall & the Elgin, the Paramount / Scotiabank and, most recently, the AMC Theatres at Yonge & Dundas, the heart of the Festival is now several blocks south.
I'd commented earlier on the monster that is the building housing the AMC Theatres. As we near the end of Day 2, the deficiencies of the monolith have become quickly apparent. While the theatres (and washrooms!) are quite good, it's a building that is not designed to move people quickly into or out of spaces. It will be interesting to see what impact this has on getting to theatres this week.
