Dedicated to all the lovers of Toronto

The world thinks Toronto is a great city, but drive outside the city limits Canadians happily heap scorn on Toronto. I’ll tell you a true story. I’m a Torontoite, but my first year out of high school I lived in Banff, Alta. Now and again I’d hitch hike to Calgary. This one time a late model, orange, Dodge Ram stopped to pick me up. An old timer was behind the wheel. Where you from, he asked? Toronto, I said. Then he said, “that’s an awful place. Have you ever been there, I asked? Nope! And never want to.

Now, understanding vicarious hatred. It’s like an axe carving a hole in the trunk of a, handsome, tree. Now imagine the hole as an empty room in a grand hotel, room 416. Lovers hire the room, to stay.

I’m the Bellhop. 🙂
