I got to say Toronto has some really great graffiti art and paintings on the sides of buildings. One thing I wish Edmonton had more of. It just makes a place feel more vibrant. Also, the back alleys in Toronto are decent and not scary. We'd always take Mr. Buns down our back alley - it was a good way to avoid people. He just loves to bark at people. Such a curmudgeon, he is.
Halloween on Church Street (apologies for the poor quality - my blackberry is mediocre at best in lighter conditions):

I caught H1N1 that night...for a quick photo-op, that is!
And here's some other photos from around the city.
Bumping fists with a lion:

I wonder if they have the Cream of Sumyungai special?
Honestly, I thought I had more photos of our time in Toronto, but I do remember that for the longest time I couldn't even find my camera. So I guess I'm lucky that we even have these. Next Toronto trip I'll play tourist and snap away.
I did get to act all touristy at the Devil's Punch Bowl, though. Here's a couple of shots.
Emma was not impressed when I keep trying to get closer and closer to the edge.
That cross in the background would light up at night. It was massive and pretty cool - and, as an atheist, I generally disapprove of such large displays of faith.
Also, in Hamilton (make that Stoney Creek) they have a drive-in theatre! It kind of had a 50's vibe to it, and they'd always play a double-feature. Luckily, when we went to see District 9 it was playing first. I wish I could remember what was playing after it. I do remember it was something terrible - probably something with Kate Hudson.
Edmonton used to be the drive-in theatre capital. I say it's time it came back. At least one outdoor theatre somewhere in this province. For nostalgia's sake. Or at least more outdoor movies at Churchill Square - like twice or three times a week. I'd pay for that. And not just kiddy movies. After 12am - no kiddies allowed, time for the PG-13 and up movies!
