Toronto

I've lived in Toronto 10 years.

O.K. You've got a few main streets: Yonge, Spadina, Bathurst, King, Queen, etc.

So far, so good. King and Queen, sure, that's cute.

If you've got King and Queen parallel to each other, then why not a Prince, Princess, Jester, etc. also? That would be a lot more fun.

Still, bearable.

Then you get these really stupid names up in North York: Paul Markway, Red Robinway. There are what seem to be hundreds of streets named this way.

Why not Paul Mark Way? What is a Markway, exactly? What's a Robinway? How about Red Robin Way?

Perhaps the lamest street naming in Toronto goes to the small streets found around major intersections. So, around Bathurst and Finch, you've got Finchurst. Leslie and Don Mills, Les Mills. Are we that dumb? Is it that hard to find a name?

So, Toronto's got all these problems due to lack of creativity.

What's really bad is when you visit some of the other towns and cities in Ontario:

I don't have much money and I want to move to a nice city. I like NY but, i am told its really expensive. And i thought about LA but, i hear its dangerous so I was thinking about Toronto. Is it nice there? Do you know of any other places that i might be able to live in but, not a very generous budget?

My girlfriend and I are going to Toronto tomorrow to see an imax movie at Paramount theatre (Scotia bank theatre) We're also going to Fresh Restaurant (corner of Spadina and Richmond) and finally going to the Silver Snail (Peter & Queen W). Is there a parking lot that's central to all these things? If so, does anyone know how much it is for all day and is there a time we need to leave the lot, say 11 pm or something?

Where's a nice town near Toronto that's not too far out, but not right in the city. Maybe 30 minutes or less outside of the Toronto. I've only been to Toronto twice and might be relocating in a few months. I want to live in an area where I can have a yard for the kids and have a reasonable commute for the husband. Any ideas? Thanks.

How come when you hear of a crime in toronto these days, its usually a black person commiting it?
growing up in toronto in the 80s/90s, i had no idea that there was ever a stereotype of blacks being criminals...every murder i heard of in the late 80s/early 90s in toronto was either commited by a white/italian maffia or a chinese gang. i remember hearing alot about asian gangs in toronto growing up but nothing about blacks even though statscan shows that there was almost as many blacks in toronto in 1991 as there is now.

then why now are so many murderers black in toronto? is it the influence of gangsta rap? i rmember rap in the 80s but it seemed so innocent and light-hearted compared to todays cop-killer lyrics.

so basically im asking...why so many white and asian killers then, and so many black ones now even though the demographics have hardly changed?

I live in Buffalo, NY and tomorrow my family and I are going to Detroit to visit some relatives. We will be taking the route through southern Ontario, because it's faster than going all the way around Ohio and it gets busy around Cleveland so we want to avoid that. But I have heard that there is a gas shortage in Ontario beacuse an Exxon plant had a fire and they cannot supply enough gas. I'm worried that this might be a problem. Our local news station in Buffalo was showing pictures of gas stations in Fort Erie, Ontario (the town across from us) and all the gas stations had yellow tape around them. It seems really bad, so maybe we should take the longer way through Ohio? What do you think?
