CURIO CITY: Although nestled in a semi-basement at 110 Water Street, the third incarnation of Ainsley McIntyre and Lindsay Burkes The Found & The Freed pop-up shop () has a decidedly rural, old-timey feeling, like a ramshackle barn or an abandoned garage thats chock full of the weird and wonderful. Curated by the pair who scoured much of Alberta, B.C. and the American Pacific Northwest for cast-offs and diamonds in the rough the store boasts such disparate and disjointed finds as a Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»public bus scroll (top left) hanging on the wall, an eight-inch-thick dictionary from the turn of the last century, antique leather bags, cases and trunks in various states of disrepair and even a wooden leg. But the real draws are the light fixtures, rescued and rewired with faux-period lightbulbs. Open 11am-7pm daily until Thursday, Dec. 15 (or perhaps Sunday, Dec. 18 time will tell).
