Enjoying a Decaf Americano on the patio at I Deal Coffee
What is your most favourite place in the city? Kensington Market – I Deal Coffee
What is it that you like about this location? I feel relaxed there. All walks of life are welcome and accepted there. It’s colourful and the coffee is fantastic.
Where is the best place to eat in the city? Bacchus Roti
What do you like about living in Toronto? I love the diversity of its neighbourhoods. I love the culture – particularly the music scene. It’s one of the safest cities around. It’s cullturally diverse.
What do you hate about living in Toronto? I hate the smog and those who sit in idling vehicles. Toronto lacks vision. We don’t cherish old buildings, we need more bike lanes, more beauty by the waterfront. We need to be more environmentally active.
Where would I find you on a lazy Sunday afternoon in the city? Sitting on my front porch or in the back garden with my daughter watering plants and hanging with my neighbours.
Who is your favourite Local Celebrity? Rick Mercer
Car, Bike or Transit? Bike, transit and sometimes car. In that order.
Favorite personal story or commentary on the city My great-great grandfather was the mayor of Toronto.
My Toronto includes small, family-run businesses.
