ah...the City of Toronto

Have I told you before about one of my favorite things about the City of Toronto, well just in case I didn't, it would be Toronto Public Library! In fact with its 99 branches its public library system is the biggest in North America, and you can have any item that you put on hold delivered to the branch that is closest to you. I truly came to understand the value and need of a public library through this one as I’ve never used a public library before. Two weekends ago I happened to be at one of its biggest branches, Toronto Reference Library, which is located in the heart of the city.

This is the “TTC Rocket” at Rosedale station as I was heading back from Canadian Tire; one of the small things I enjoy is the view of a distant train approaching in an above ground level outdoor station :)

And as the city of Toronto has a lot to offer on a nice warm weekend, I enjoyed a long stroll on Yonge street, appreciating the city's multicultural environment which makes me feel good and brings a smile to my face. I topped of my evening with a grand lunch at a Korean restaurant and made it down to Yonge and Dundas Square where the running fountains indicate that the warm weather has arrived.

Looking good! :) Oh how we miss you. I don't always comment, but I have enjoyed reading your perspective on world events. Events that don't always make a lot of sense to me.
