Tour Guide, Toronto, Canada
| 1 mins read
Toronto, the capital of the province of Ontario, is a dynamic metropolis with a core of soaring skyscrapers, all dwarfed by the iconic, free-standing CN Tower.
Summers is a great time to explore the lively neighbourhoods, ethnic enclaves and the touristy hot spots.
Did you know Rotten fruits fetched a higher price than fresh ones back in the 1800s and that the most photographed building in Toronto is not the CN tower but the Gooderham and Worts building about 2 km to the east of it? Which fire station got the first motorized truck in the city and where does a $50 million diamond tee come up for 2 weeks every Christmas? I will be writing about many of our city’s hidden gems and trivia facts in the coming months in my articles in the local community papers.
As it rightly said, the world is a book, read as much as you can.
