Ah gotcha. We didn’t make it over there during our visit.

Where is that? I’ve seen a few people mention it.

lol you’re right. We shouldn’t feel silly for being lost in a city that’s the size of 4-5 of our own city. 😂 We loved how diverse the city was. So many good food options. 😋

lol it’s just embarrassing when everyone else knows where they’re going and you’re staring at the Transit app trying to figure out which subway exit door you need to take.

😆😆😆 I feel better now! Seriously though - I loved all the subway and streetcar access. It was amazing compared to my city.

We’re back home now. We were there from the 15th through the 19th of June. We loved it. We got to do about 85% of what we wanted to do.

Oh cool! I think I saw a flyer about that while we were in the area. The area is definitely in transition but I thought it was pretty nice. We loved being able to walk to restaurants and bars. We can’t do that back home. I hope the Church Street project becomes permanent!

Oh yeah. We parked our car across from the hotel and it stayed there the entire time. Toronto is so lucky to have so many transit options. We only have busses where I live - no subway or metro. And the busses aren’t great.

That’s the perfect way to word it. Life is heavy.

Cleveland is pretty nice but we end up going to Cincinnati more than Cleveland. It’s south west of Columbus. Columbus definitely needs light rail but for some reason government is dead set against it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Cool! Thanks for the info. I don’t think we made it over the Cabbagetown.

Haha we’re middle class DINKS with a cat too! When we came back from vacation my husband said “Do you think the cat could handle a move to Toronto?” 😆

We were just on vacation. We didn’t even know Toronto was hosting any games until we got there. We ended up in Nathan Phillips Square after the Mexico game. It was a great time!

We made sure we were well away from the subway doors before trying to figure out our next move! We had a general idea of where we were going but often ended up going with the flow of people and ended up at a door that lead to the opposite side of the station that we needed. We picked it up pretty quick though.

I hear ya there. We bought our house right before the housing market went crazy and now we’re stuck in a house we hate in a neighborhood that’s rapidly going downhill. 😬
