What impressions do others have of Toronto when you tell them you're from there? Are you excited when others mention your hometown (I must admit, I am).
I'm living in Chicago right now, and I can hear ads for Porter Airlines on the radio.
I notice that although some Americans don't know that much about Toronto or just associate it with Canada more broadly as one of our cities, I'm impressed at the number of people who have at least visited or commented on it. Also, I meet international workers and students who tell me they've been to or have family in Toronto.
It's interesting the range of impressions and ideas people get from Toronto -- from that it must be a terribly freezing city, to a clean city, or a city with lots of immigrants, or somewhere you can barely find on a map, or somewhere where grandma lives.
