Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3958155, member: 153"] I read this whole thread in one sitting. Oof. Just some general comments: 1. Toronto’s downtown is soulless. I am there a lot. But the city’s charm is in its waterfront (a lot of fun) and neighborhoods. It reminds me a lot of Chicago. Not much going on downtown but the neighborhoods are excellent. 2. Since we’re on the subject of Canada I really liked Vancouver and think the city has it all: food, freaks, fun and natural beauty. But it’s expensive as hell and they decided to put up ugly high rises Hong Kong style. Bizarre. 3. Edmonton is the Atlanta of Canada but while Hotlanta is sultry Edmonton is frigid. Downtown if both cities is boring as hell but people are boozing it up in the strip malls. 4. Windsor seems to be a city full of adults stripping and screwing for money. 5. continuing East, Hamilton is Hartford but with some charm and many people 6. Montreal. World class city, great food, great friendly people once they find out you’re American instead of an Anglo Canuck. Beautiful walkable city as well 7. QC I don’t know why people like it. It does have old world charm but it’s a tourist trap and boring as hell. My advice is to go with your parents or grandparents because everyone there is 60+ 8. I want to go to Nova Scotia eventually [/QUOTE]
