We moved to Mississauga about 7 years ago. We were living on the Harbourfront before that.

X2, but grew up in Toronto. Lived just south of Yorkdale, although it was a cornfield when we moved there. When it was built it was the biggest enclosed mall in the world. Times change.

We lived right under the flight path for Downsview air base, and I can still remember T 33 jet trainers coming in so low we could see the pilots.

I'm a Torontonian. Presently living at Yonge & Eglinton. Can't swing a dead cat without hitting a bar or restaurant. And the liquor store is only a 10 minute walk.

We should arrange a GTG. I remember talking to Kingblackbolt (Ren) and he said there was one a few years back.

Is that where the mall on Yonge St is now Al? We found it on accident one day Kelly and I were walking and I told her "Wait right here. I'm going in this store to go to the bathroom. Be right out."

I went inside and noticed there was a huge mall attached to the store. I went back outside and got her then.

Toronto is a beautiful city. It reminds me of NYC but cleaner.
