October 28, 200915 yr Looking good! Those beaches don't look quite as inviting as their Chicago counterparts.
October 28, 200915 yr Interesting. I've never been to Toronto, but it appears to be set up sort of weirdly, with towers just kind of scattered around. I should really vist, but when given the chance to go to Canada, I think it would be hard to beat Quebec City and Montreal.

Toronto may appear that way because it's grown so rapidly and tremendously in the last thirty years, far surpassing Montreal as Canada's largest city. http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
October 29, 200915 yr Great Pics. I was just in Toronto this past summer for the first time and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I wasn't expecting much, because most people that I've talked to compare it to Chicago and say that Chicago is a better city. I personally ended up enjoying Toronto more than Chicago. Chicago has much better architecture and history in my opinion, but I really liked the vibe of Toronto. It seemed much less segregated, more diverse, dense, and I liked the public transit better. People were also ridiculously nice in Toronto. People gathered around to help me and my friend with directions on a streetcar after they heard us trying to figure out how to get somewhere. Edale, I would recommend checking Toronto out if you get a chance. The area around the CN tower really isn't that exciting. It's filled with a lot of high-rise condos, but I really liked smaller parts of town like Kensington Market, China Town, Little Italy, Cabbage town, and other's that I can't remember the names of. From my experience Toronto is much more exciting than Quebec City. The old part of Quebec City looks European and everything, but every storefront is a souvenir shop or a touristy restaurant. The old part of Quebec City feels like Disney's Epcot to me and the other part of Quebec City really isn't that exciting. I had fun visiting and there are a lot of photo ops, but I don't think I'll go back. Montreal is a really awesome city and so is Toronto. These are just my opinions. Keep in mind that I've only been to Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City once each, so I might change my mind if I end up in any of these cities again.
October 30, 200915 yr I do love the vibrancy of the city but man can the architecture be bland!! There are just way too many bland corporate skyscrapers from the 80s...
November 3, 200915 yr I do love the vibrancy of the city but man can the architecture be bland!! There are just way too many bland corporate skyscrapers from the 80s... I would agree with that. Most Ohio cities and Pittsburgh alone have better architecture and are much smaller. Kind of sad. Still a great city, but that aspect really bothers me.
