Enjoying a coffee while giving me a tour outside his loft.
What is your most favourite place in the city? It USED to be parkdale (when I lived there) Now that I have moved to Leslieville, it’s HERE!
What is it that you like about this location? Always changing, diverse group of people.
Where is the best place to eat in the city? Being a vegetarian (vegan wanna-be) I love Pulp Kitchen! El Asador on bloor for burritos (veggie)
What do you like about living in Toronto? The people. SO SO many wonderful people that I have met and have yet to meet.
What do you hate about living in Toronto? The number of SUVs on the streets, often left idling. And people who seem to be ingorant about the world around them, thinking only of THEMSELVES. Even simply throwing garbage out your window while driving really gets to me. I really think they just don’t get it though, I don’t think they would truly be that careless if they actually THOUGHT about it. I’m not sure what we can do to make people see things the way they are.
Where would I find you on a lazy Sunday afternoon in the city? Strolling through my NEW neigbourhood taking photos, and then sipping a soy latte at Mercury Espresso Bar.
Who is your favourite Local Celebrity? That’s a tough one.
Car, Bike or Transit? Smart or Vespa or on foot ( if time allows )
Favorite personal story or commentary on the city While I was walking down Queen street a man yelled my name, I walked over to Xrays where he was eating. Turned out to be Dan Akroyd. He asked if I wanted to have something to eat with him. I told him I was meeting friends for Supper. When I met my friends and told them the story, they said “YOU Idiot!!” Guess they where right. Guess I snubbed HIM! Silly guy…
My Toronto includes trees, grass and fresh air!
