I'm from Toronto and constantly wonder how you people see us from a tourist's point of view, I always wondered. I'm asking, because I constantly see people mention that they're coming here for concerts or whatever.

Never mind that - Kathy Griffin's coming! :

Personally i love Toronto.
It's the "New York City" of Canada to me.
definately in my top 3 favorite cities in the world behind NYC and London.

I rank London and New York 2 & 3, but I'm biased.

I visited in September and had a great time. I went with 2 friends, though, so I really didn't interact much with the locals.
Ace chickened out of meeting me.
But it's a lovely city. I enjoyed my time there very much.

Toronto is 'meh' to me.

It's a nice enough city.Very clean. I really liked the public transportaion, it was easy to use. Other than that, not much about it stands out in my mind.

Another reason why we could never work.

You were obviously hangin' in the wrong 'hoods.

Ace said:

Stop breaking my heart. You could make me love Toronto...along with many other things.

Ace said:

Probably.

Sweeny79 said:

Clean??

JustErin said:

I live in JERSEY about 5 min from NYC... everything looks clean to me.

JustErin said:

Five years ago, I would've already been spanking you while fucking you in the ass.

JustErin said:

Have you ever been in an American city of comparable size?

Ace said:

I know, I was just teasing.

Sweeny79 said:

Good point. Come to Ottawa, this place fucking gleams it's so clean.

Ace said:

Ya, ya...I know. I still crack up when people call it 'clean'.

I don't really hate it there. It's got some fun things to do. I'm going there this summer...not to party but I'm taking Miles and my neice to the zoo.

Toronto band, Toronto-area locations, genuine Toronto eccentric (Mary Margaret O'Hara - sister of Catherine and a brilliant musician).

Special to Carrie: I used to see Mary Margaret all the time on the strip of Queen St. you were a-strollin' (had her phone number at one point for some music-related thing or other). Very, very sweet and very, very nuts. Important note: she does not know how to tune a Yamaha DX-21 synthesizer.

Mostly Toronto-unrelated question: Anybody out there familiar with Glass Eye and/or Kathy McCarty?

Ace said:

That's awesome.

JustErin said:

Toronto'd be just as clean as Ot-taw-a if we had the equivalent amount of absolutely-nothing-goin'-on here.

Ace said:

I remember her song (if you can call it that) Bodies In Trouble when I was a kid. My brothers and I would die of laughter singing Bunny's In Trouble instead. "Ah, who? Ah, who??"



Ok, it was funny when we were 10.

Ace said:

On the surface it's a boring-ass town but it's got a wicked underground scene.
