Photo-documenting the real Toronto backgrounds from Scott Pilgrim

Flickr user mad5l5in5 has scoured the streets of Toronto for the locations that appear in the backgrounds of Bryan Lee O'Malley's smashing Scott Pilgrim graphic novels (which will conclude this summer with the release of the feature film). As a expat Torontonian, I was struck again and again by O'Malley's excellent work in capturing the character of the city with his backgrounds. I can't wait for the movie — the photoset was a great reminder of O'Malley's excellent use of setting.
