This is belated but........
My 4 day trip to Toronto last weekend was great! Let give a quick overview.
Friday, July 11 and Monday, July 14:
My wife and I drove to and from Toronto, which can be harsh because driveing I-69 through central MI and southwestern Ontario are pretty desolate and bad radio stations (particularly in On.)
Got to Toronto in early evening and went to diner at a nice Mexican rest. aroung the King/Spadina area (I think)
Saturday, July 12:
Wife, friend, and myself walked a circle around downtown. Our friend rents a condo in the CityPlace area across the street from the SkyDome, so we walked Front street to St Lawerance market (that is niiiiiice), walked north thorugh the neighborhoods directly east of Yonge, North stopped at the Univ.of Toronto, toured the On. Parliment building, then walked through campus. Took College west to Spadina (I really like the near west neighborhoods) Had Veitnamese for lunch on Spadina then walked back to the condo on Front.
In the evening we went and hung out in the south Beaches neighborhood. That is a very nice neighborhood. I would definitley like to live there. Its full of nice little bungalows directly adjacent to the Lake. I also like to new res./com development happening there along Queen St.
Sunday, July 13:
Went to the Toronto Islands in the morning. Rented bikes on Centerville and biked to Ward's and Algonquin Islands. I also like the residential bits of the islands.
That's our trip, and I wish I could have spent more time checking out the city. I have a nagging suspicion that the city does not have the typical neighborhood "ghetto" mentality that is so prevalent in many US cities. Every type of person was in every neighborhood.
What is everyone's opinion/experience with this cool Great Lakes city?
