OUR TORONTO

What makes Toronto special to you? What makes it unique? What makes it different?

Toronto is a wonderland for culture, tolerance and beauty both natural and human made. Toronto is not only a huge tourist attraction but a place many move to later in life.

What makes Toronto the special place you live in?

To some people it is sports…to some arts… to some politics

So here are my TOP 10 reasons Toronto Rocks…

10.) The Streets Are Paved With Food: From Korean delights at Yonge and Finch to the hotdog and chip laddened streets dowtown Toronto gives people a dose of yummy snacks. As part of our culture we have come to love our “Street Meat”.
9.) Moose on the Loose: “Have you ever seen a moose, out on the loose? Down by…Toronto????” It has been well over a decade but these fine specimens of Toronto are everywhere there is importance in the city.
8.) Kensington Market: What a glorious place and not just because of its fictionalization in the old show “King of Kensington” with the late great Al Waxman. The market is lined with amazing vendors, food and a rich history and artistic flavor. It is so fun to walk time and time again in this wonderful area.
7.) That Good Ol’ Hockey Game… : We have the Hockey Hall of Fame. It is the house of hockey histroy and no other hockey town can lay the claim we have.
6.) I Love The Nightlife: Toronto has a spectacular nightlife as seen best at John and Richmond. From the beautiful dining establishements, pubs and patios to clubs, lounges and theatres, Toronto is stocked!
5.) See You at the Dome? We Will Hang at the ACC! : It might be the Rogers Centre to you but it will always the Skydome to me! The ACC is the newer addition, yet it is still of model of a greate venue.
4.) Home of the…Teams?: Yes it is true our teams in the arena of sporting have fell on some pretty hard times (Leafs, Raptors, Argonauts, Jays, TFC, Marlies) but they are a part of who we are as a city.
3.) Tall Wonder: As one the largest freestanding structures in the world the CN Tower has become an icon of Toronto. Now with the sky walk the tower is forming new fans and an even more positive existence with travellers.
2.) Maple Leaf Gardens: Though retired as the place of the Leafs in 1999, MLG is now the flagship Loblwas store with a Maple Leaf flavor. Walking through the store things you will see include
* Tons of blue and white
* Staff wearing Maple Leaf jerseys and clothing
* Art created from old MLG seats
To see this new fangled store is to lose yourself in its beauty.
1.) Take a Ride: There are always those who say other cities and destinations have much better subway and transit systems, but TTC works for me. I enjoy the ride and the experience!
