My Toronto Includes Maria Prieto Davo
Maria Prieto Davo, Market Analyst
A night on the town at Front and Church.
What is your most favourite place in the city? The median on Front St. just at Church where you can see the Flatiron building with the big office towers in the background.
What is it that you like about this location? The view of Toronto the old and Toronto the new together.
Where is the best place to eat in the city? Morton’s of Chicago at the Hyatt hotel.
What do you like about living in Toronto? Being able to walk without fear of being mugged or attacked (taking the appropriate measures, obviously). Being able to walk home in the middle ofthe night alone and without fear. I also like that it’s a relatively small city where you run into people you know all the time.
What do you hate about living in Toronto? Hearing all the time that there’s no money for this, no money for that. Also it’s too hot in the summer and apparently there’s not enough electricity supply and we could have a blackout any time if everyone turns on their air conditioning.
Where would I find you on a lazy Sunday afternoon in the city? I’ll probably be at the Flatiron and Firking playing NTN trivia and drinking a pint or two.
Who is your favourite Local Celebrity? Mayor David Miller.
Car, Bike or Transit? TTC.
Favorite personal story or commentary on the city I was walking on Queen St. right past Church towards St. Michael’s Hospital. Just where that park is where people play chess all day. Well, this man started walking beside me and asked me if I wanted to marry him. Unfortunately I had to say no. This random homeless guy is the only man (or actually, person) who has ever asked me to marry him in my thirty-something years.
My Toronto Includes my friends, who are my family, since I don’t have any family here.
