The original CN Tower. Kensington, Toronto.

            Most Torontonians don't know that the idea of CN Tower started in the head of Meyer Zimmerman, who was the Rabbi of Anshei Minsk synagogue in the 1950's. This hysterical photo of the synagogue is from that time, but since then, the decoration from the copula was removed.  Architect John Andrews (born Abramowitz) parents were part of Minsk congregation and he remembered it when the WZMH Architects were submitting their design for the tower in early 1970's.
