I lived in Orillia and drove past London to Chatham to visit home so I know what you mean Ct0517. I did enjoy stopping at yorkdale to shop and hitting the stereo shops that used to line Yonge st. some years back
TRIP TO TORONTO. WHAT TO DO...
The thing is that I will be visiting my son who is studying at the University of Toronto next Easter week.
My interests when visiting a new city -apart from blues and rock music shows- are:
1.- Contemporary architecture;
2.- Discovering places and neighborhoods not mentioned on tourist guides;
3.- One day trip to towns around the main city;
4.- Local "cuisine" as there´s an Spanish cuisine. Not meaning "hi-end cuisine" a la Ferrán Adriá. This trend seems to me like 70s progressive music -how to get the more complicated pentatonic scale-. Let´s keep it simple;
5.- Eating on the cheap. I mean affordable prices. Not breaking the bank;
6.- Drinking undiscovered beers and/or unexpected wines
7.- Bookstores (if they still exists); CD stores -if they still exist- and why not -the vice strikes again- audio stores -if they still exist-;
I´m open to your suggestions.
Thank you all.
Daniel
