CN Tower - Walking The Glass Observation Floor
by Mikebb
This was the highlight of our visit and it did not go as I thought it would, I could not walk the glass floor of the Observation Balcony, however my wife did it easily. Looking around the observation deck it was a raffle to guess who would walk or freeze. It appears age does not play a part.
The night view was fantastic, however we were lucky as our tour director took us up during daylight and we had both views.
Looking down to ground level is something, hang on tight!

Cabbagetown
by Paul2001
Cabbagetown is one of my favourite places to hang on a nice summer day. The neighborhood is full of lovely, well restored Victorian houses from the 19th century. The whole neighborhood is picturesque. Sites in the neighborhood that are worth seeing are the Necropolis and Riverdale Farm if you are traveling with small children. The district got its name when the immigrant who settled here developed the habit of growing cabbages in the front lawn.
The neighborhood's boundries are between Jarvis Street on the west to the Don Valley on the east . To the north is Wellesley and Gerrard to the south. Sadly some of the surrounding districts, ie: Regent Park are not very nice and actually dangerous at night. The neigborhood cafes and bars can be rather cute. Most of these are on Parliament Street and Carlton Ave. I particularly recommend the Winchester for its cheap beer and good food.
Toronto reminds me of Berlin....

Toronto reminds me of Berlin. A lot see and do and is perfectly safe to walk around at any time of day and night. Taking a ferry to the islands vis-a-vis the city and walking or bicycling around them.
be kind
by Martman
In many parts of the city (especially downtown) a homeless person may approach you to purchase a newspaper. Usually, this newspaper contains articles concerning the homeless. This is a successful system where the poor buy the newspapers and then resell them with a profit. This opportunity gives them more dignity, as they are selling something useful rather than just begging. I do believe that this is a wonderful system. I always feel good when I purchase from them. I am not lecturing you what to do should they approach you, as that is obviously your decision. I will, however, suggest that you be amicable with them. One of the agreements of this system is that they must be polite. Throughout my years in Toronto, I found this to be 100% true. They are extremely friendly and are definitely not troublemakers at all. I cannot find any reason why I should not be friendly back at them.
