[URBAN NOTE] Queen Street on a Hot June Evening

[rfmcdonald]

It's boring to wait for a streetcar to come by, especially when the evening's bright and hot and there's people about. I walked west on Queen Street West after getting out at Osgoode, past the displays of jewellery and drawings for sale on the sidewalk, looking at the young couples holding hands and the buskers playing electric guitar or bagpipe. I stopped to drink a pint of Amsterdam at the Horseshoe Tavern as I struggled to complete my Metro Toronto crossword.

You know, I could get used to this.
