A colorful and interesting scene. The kliegs are hot, so they're not down for long, although the production assistants and lighting people who wrangle those light stands and flats spend most of their time just standing around. Toronto was always a good place to shoot, although in my day, we weren't able to use it often due to union pressures. But lots of good crews and locations there.
