Happy Birthday Toronto

Today my fair city turns 175 years old. I have vague memories of 150, and I imagine 200 will be a big deal.

I could write a bunch of reasons why I love it here, or why there is nowhere else I'd want to live. Instead, I'll just link.

Here.

and here.

The real beauty of those lists? I've discovered even MORE things I need to check out here.

But first I'll get some older ones out of the way. I think I'll go to the ROM this weekend. Maybe squeeze in the AGO too. Rumours abound about perhaps wandering around taking pictures during Eh-Vegas... but that may depend on how cold it gets. Just make sure I get my ass out the door more often come Spring and Summer and Fall, k?

Here's another link... Toronto in 1834. I recommend the zoomable coloured map, especially if you know the city.

I love my city.

Too cold to shoot?

Naw, looking like -1 or -2 C (so.. 30 F?). Or Tropical where you come from. As long as it's dry, shouldn't be a problem. Also, they can't get the weather right for the same day, let along a week in advance.
