This Is My Toronto

In the end there are going to be things that some people love and some people hate. And my glowing review of the city may not be enough to change your mind if you’ve already made it. But, if you haven’t decided to write Toronto off, if you’ve never been here, if it’s been a long, long time since you rode the street car, or if are ready to give it a second chance, these are some of the things that I love.

This is my Toronto.

A Boy And His Mom

So yesterday I told everyone to call their mom. It was a good idea, I stand by that. And as my dad said, don’t forget dads. And the reason I mentioned that is because my mom had just called me the day before… and then I got to thinking, and this is what became of that.

A Habs Fan In Leaf Country, A Review

But it’s tough for us strong, proud fans of the Montreal Canadiens to fight back. Every Maple Leaf fan is aware and used to the fact that their team hasn’t won a Stanley Cup since 1967. And while we aren’t pleased with the fact that the Habs haven’t won since Sir Patrick led the way in 1993, at least we can remember beating Gretzky and the Kings… after they beat the Leafs to get to us.

Reviewing My Would Be Changes To The MLB Play-Offs

The theory here is that Major League Baseball gets to show off a double header of play-off action on national TV. It means that 2 extra teams in the league are guaranteed at least 1 play-off ticket gate per season. It also means that there are at least 2 chances a year for amazingly exciting games that will decide who gets to move on and play and who goes home.

Neighbourhood Review…Parkdale, Toronto

We’re talking about the King Street West and Dufferin Street area. If you’re not sure where that is I’ll give you directions.

1. From downtown Toronto: Head west on King Street, past the trendy part, under the train bridge and there I am.

2. From the highway east of Toronto: Take the 401 until the DVP, take the DVP to the Gardiner Express Way past the CNE grounds and Ontario Place, get off at the Dunn exit, head north from the highway past Medieval Times to King Street.
