Folks - A great exhibit of photos on the sweet science is on at 401 Richmond St. The photos are top-notch and if you've never been to 401 Richmond, it's a pretty cool building re-imagined as a gallery and artists' space. And, it's free... oh, and the other exhibit on at Gallery 44 involves a wall-sized projection of miscellaneous semi-related photos that include plenty of hot women in various states of undress. Boxing as legitimate, skillful art/hot women in interesting photos/free/part of town with lots to do once you're done your visit... can't lose proposition.
