Everyone is given the presumption of "welcome."

Welcome. Join in. But, for God's sake, avoid Lumberjim.

Thanks for the welcome guys.... and the fair warning Beestie.
I will join in and see what becomes of me.

Welcome too - haven't noticed many Canadians here before. One day I hope to visit. Where you from?

LJ aint that bad. the cellar has a tolerance lvl of 9. although some people recently have been pushing ten.

So, I've been reading. :rolleyes: I think the end result will be good (I hope)

Years ago (sadly) - in the late 60's (days of Led Zeppelin, Isaac Hayes, and such) - a good friend of mine spent a great time there - stayed 2 years - those were the days of penpals communications only, so long missives were the norm. Learned quite a bit about your city then - guess it's changed quite a bit in 35+ years though. This year, had the chance to meet some Toronto folk and from other parts of your fine country on a holiday trip to Cuba. You should post some photos of your city sometime - if not here then there are a couple of other threads here where this would suit.

Toronto is one of the finest cities I've visited, clean, cultured, beautiful. Walked down Queen and had some great icewine from the Niagara, saw the Second City Comedy, and the Tower. With the lake right there and everything, it's a great place. Of course all this was in Summer....

When I visited Winnipeg (also in the summer... we were there on July 1 and observed the quaint custom of everybody closing down, instead of have sales as in the US on July 4 ;) ) I saw that in the downtown area they have a network of walkways and underground plazas to minimize the amount of time you actually have to spend outdoors in winter.

I've got family in Hamilton (Stoney Creek) and spent a lot of time up there. Nice place...nice people. :)

Queen st. has really developed into a fashion district since the last time i was here, it wasn't always like that, I was kinda suprised! The city has really gone through some drastic changes in the past decade.

Actually the winter here is much nicer than the summer :rolleyes:
I don't know if I could say that about Winnipeg though, as it gets freakishly cold there
