My sister lives in Toronto. I loved the shopping there. But I found it too fast paced. I'm a fast walker in general, but I practically had to jog to keep up with my sister and stay out of people's way. This made me lol. I worked in Toronto for about a year and a half and MH still calls it my “Toronto walk” when I pick up the pace. It’s a real thing. I have worked in Toronto for most of my adult life. When I travel to other cities (Vancouver, I’m looking at you!) the leisurely pace makes me crazy. No offence, Vancouverites.

I remember when George Stroumboulopoulos used to be a MuchMusic VJ. Also, Rick the Temp. Does Much even have VJs anymore? It seems they have a bunch of random tv shows, and less music.

I had a huge crush on Rick the Temp. What’s he’s doing these days?
Is Much Music still a station?

I only ever want to visit Toronto. It's nice the two or three times a year that I visit. By the end of my stay, I always want to go home. I find it exhausting. This is pretty much how I feel about Ottawa, except that it's dull. I lived there for ten months and was counting down the days to get out. I like Toronto because there are so many neighbourhoods and each has their own little microcosm of life. I grew up in the west end of the city and it feels so strange to cross to the other side, it's like a whole different place. Yes. Toronto is awesome for the little neighbourhood. I grew up on the east side of the city

I did love Toronto and it's neighbourhoods. There is so much to do there, whether it's awesome restaurants or going hiking or exploring (there are great trails hidden in the city), or whatever it is you like to do. I loved living there when we didn't have kids. Once we were paying $2000 a month for child care and then another $2000 for rent (for a small apartment) it was time to go. We both were making good money but we couldn't get very far ahead financially, and saving for a place to buy was just never going to happen. So we high tailed it out of there and moved to the Maritimes and enjoy the low COL.
