The Toronto Traveler

In honour of the most recent b5media Travel & Culture Theme Day Post, I’ve decided to do a quick run through of the alphabet with a Toronto flair added onto things. 
This post is a continuation of T is for Toronto, the post I wrote for that particular theme day post.
 
A is for the Argonauts, Toronto’s Canadian Football League Franchise.
B is for the Blue Jays, Toronto’s Major League Baseball Franchise.
C is for the Canadian National Exhibition, which makes its home within the City of Toronto.
D is for the Don River, one of the many beautiful pieces of flowing water …read more

One of the great things about Toronto is that it has a large number of neighbourhood pubs.  These pubs allow you to kick back, relax and have a good time.  Not a good time like a tourist, but a good time like a resident of the city, because the people in these pubs are often friendly enough that you’d fit right in within minutes of sitting down at the bar.
One example of such a pub is the Scotland Yard Pub.  This pub is located in the heart of the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood and has been around for over …read more

One of the most enjoyable aspects about writing for The Toronto Traveler has to be getting to be part of the great community of b5media Travel & Culture.  Every now and then we do a theme day where the whole channel gets to write posts around a common theme.  One of those days is coming up at the end of May and it’s going to be on the letter T.  To that end, I give you the following post, entitled T is for Toronto.
T is for The Toronto Traveler, the blog that I’ve been writing for since late last year.  …read more

Poorly pixelated pictures aside, if you are someone that loves to laugh, then ROFL 2007 is absolutely the event for you.  There are a number of different performances that are going to go on that will make you laugh completely.  There are different performances from different actors and comedians, including a tale about a man’s attempts to find a date around the city.  It is a great way to just unwind from the stress of the holiday season and with a price starting at just $20, it is reasonably affordable as well.

What: ROFL 2007
Where: 16 Ryerson Avenue
When: Starting at 7:30 …read more

The CN Tower, quite lamentably, is no longer the tallest freestanding structure in the world.  That honour now rests with a building still under construction within the United Arab Emirates.  The CN Tower had a fantastic run with that honour however, since it held the record for over 30 years.  Considering that this was created in the 70s, when technology was nowhere near what it is now, the CN Tower remains one of the most fantastic engineering and architectural feats of the human race.
Well, that might be me talking through my blue coloured sunglasses, who knows!  But what is not …read more
