[URBAN NOTE] La ville-reine

[rfmcdonald]

As I walked north from Union Station on Bay after disembarking from the GO Transit terminus, through the complexes of buildings which inspire Canada's hatred of Toronto, running west on Queen Street to make sure that the streetcar didn't catch up to me before I got to the University Avenue stop, and treaded north across the railway tracks to reach my abode, I realized once against that I loved this city. Toronto's great skyscrapers, rising into the sky from a vantage point in the direction of the harbour, are but an introduction.
