I actually like it here. Or what was here... to be honest in the 90s i had mostly good things to say about toronto. Although people have always been kinda crusty in Toronto :)
I just hate seeing the fast decline of the place i call my hometown. |

Pro's:
- Enjoyable park & trail system
- Toronto Islands
- High Park
- Promise Parties - Cherry Beach especially.
- Various "communities" / villages - China Town, Little India, Church Street, Kensington, etc
- Lax attitudes towards things like Hotbox Cafe & Kindered Cafe - mmm, special milkshakes on a rooftop patio.
- Diverse EDM scene - sure, may not be as big as other cities/countries, but its enjoyable. Also may not always get bookings I like, but I do recognize the talent that comes through here, even if I dont like the DJ.
- All around pretty accepting of gays
- Lots of free stuff going on if you look for it
- Lots of not so free stuff going on
- Killer local talent for DJs
- 60% of where I need to be is within a reasonable walking distance
- 90% of where I need to be is within a reasonable walking distance if the weather is nice
- Toronto Pride & the activate stage
- My best friends all live within about a 10 minute walk from me
- Promise, Tempo, Break & Enter, Platform, Fukhouse
- Close enough to Montreal that it doesn't break the bank to get there once or twice a year or a nice change of pace.
- Healthy job market for my industry, I dont see myself hurting for work anytime soon, *knocks on wood, and perhaps I should stop posting on TA from work*
Con's:
- Random pockets of stench
- TTC service
- Aggressive homeless people
- Expensive rent
Con's that are sort of cons, but add character:
- semi-famous Toronto Crazies - do yo have any CHAAAAAAAAANGE lady (when she's not under my bedroom window), "JESUS IS THE LORD" guy at Younge & Dundas, Rat-Guy over at University, Blind-Turrets on the subway guy. Sure, they can be a bother - but also add character at times. |

I thought i was going to witness a holy war on saturday afternoon when the "Jesus is Lord" dude, black muslims (wearing black framed glasses, trench coats, fedoras and bowties) and Muslims (mostly Arabs) were recruiting and parading all within 20 feet of each other outside the sears doors. |
