Well, I've been in Toronto for just over 6 weeks and loving the city! Thanks to everyone for tips on things to do in the city. Haven't done them all yet, but i'm seeing a lot. Anyway, I have some really good friends coming over to visit at the end of October, and I was hoping for some...

Dairy Queen & Orange Julius opening at the Eaton Centre South food court soon

From my window, it definately looks like the crane is coming down. There is a blue crane right next to it (and its not the window washing crane) and it looks like its being dismantled. (and Woop - my first post that is live from the ground in Toronto!! Yeah!!)

Tartu? Not really sure what that is. I think your right with the Victorian home idea. I'm 30, and I've found a few places on craigslist that sound really nice and in nice areas around the Annex/Kensington Market. I'm gonna have to spend a lot of time in the coffee shops & bars in the...

I arrive in Toronto on the 17th Aug so if anyone has or knows someone with a nice room to let for a year, i'd love to hear about it. Ideally i'm looking downtown, up to $700 a month. Cheers.

Quick side point - am I right in presuming the best Jays game to go and see would be the Yankees? I want to go, but have no real idea about baseball! Also, has anyone gone to see the Bills play? I've never been to an NFL game and it looks interesting. Oh, and one last thing (Yes, us Brits...

Guys, legendary stuff. Seriously, what you've given me so far is exactly what i'm looking for. Dundas St W sounds great, and hitting a few bars along College St would be awesome. Likewise, a good Bulleit Bourbon or Manhattan at the Park Hyatt or One checking out the 'entertainment' would be fun...

Well I'm due to arrive in Toronto on the 17th August on my working visa (I can't wait!), but I wanted to see what the members of UrbanToronto would recommend I do in my first few weeks in TO. Now, I've been to Toronto 3 times, but the last time was in 2003, so I'm pretty sure its changed a...

Hi! Well, after months of waiting, i've finally been told that my visa has been approved and so i'll be winging my way to Toronto shortly!! Now I need to organise somewhere to live - i'm hoping to find a house/apartment share in a nice downtown area. I'm planning on arriving in TO on the...

Toronto looks like NYC in those pics! (Esp. the first one - feels like its taken from Rockefeller Centre!) Is that the Sheraton Centre to the right in those photos?

Well I, as a soon to be new resident of Toronto, can't wait to get there! Seriously, I know everyone is entitled to there own opinion, but I just fail to see how anyone can't at least like Toronto, and more often than not love the place. All my friends are really jealous that i'm going over and...

Merry Christmas all! Christmas 2010 - In Toronto!!! (hopefully a white christmas then!) James

This is probably bad forum ettiqute, but i'm going to go back to the original artical that this thread is about. The writer completely sums up why i'm in love with Toronto, and why I cannot wait to get there next year. Seriously, you guys don't know how good you've got it. Every day that...

Amazing job Redroom! My fav is the Canadian Bank of Commerce entrance. Can I ask what camera & tripod you have? I'm really keen on getting into photography and i'd love a bit of advice. Again, great, great job! Jimbo

Thanks Whatever. I'm pretty certain i'm going to stay at Neill-Wycik Summer Hotel (as its damn cheap and centrally located) so i'm gonna hit the streets and see where's best...but SLM does sound great! (though i wouldn't be aversed to an area full of college students!!)
