toronto

The self-styled center of the universe. Though a pedestrian or cyclist is killed on its poorly paved streets every single week, I'm sure they had it coming. Probably renters, you know?

Visitors to Toronto are often disappointed by the pointed lack of fashion in the city. Tellingly, there is a 'fashion district' in Toronto but the name refers to the defunct manufacturing sector that left behind interesting buildings now given over to small businesses, restaurants, some nightclubs, and a media firm or two.

Along with the graffiti-rich Queen Street West area west of Spadina, and the "entertainment district" around John Street, there's still plenty of interesting stuff going on despite the rapid redevelopment into faceless, pointless condo towers.

There's a habit in Toronto for neighbourhoods to be identified by name. Many of the names didn't exist in the mid nineties when I first arrived here (Corktown? Leslieville?). But Cabbagetown was a name everyone knew; its a busy place with decent houses and good shopping. One thing that's always pleased me about the district is the high standard for restaurants; I don't know how this has happened in a city where restaurants are a notorious crapshoot.

Toronto has a lengthy waterfront. Most of it is seemingly buried behind condos and water treatment plants and stretches of private land, but Centre Island Park in Toronto is one of the city's highlights.
