Sooo.... start posting your ideas here... lets plan it out.....
I'll start by saying we meet somewhere downtown around 8am... (please object if that's too early)
Are we going by foot/transit? If anyone wants somewhere to dump their car, there's a Green P reight behind the Eaton Center that is Flat rate $6 on Saturdays... it's on the block separated by these streets: Queen,Church,Richmond,Yonge, entrance is off Richmond or Queen...
I am ok by foot, but I guess if we decide to go to far off corners of T.O., we can switch to transit. Maybe I should hoard some tokens ;)
I think we should all list places in Downtown that we like, and then we can build an itinerary from there. I vote for Graffiti Alley, Kensington Market, and the UofT campus.
Well, it's been (counting on fingers and toes) 11 years since I last lived in TDot. Things have probably changed quite a bit, especially in the downtown core. I will defer to you all for the day's journey, but I'd just like to toss this out there, wet-blanket style: December 12th has the distinct possibility of c-o-l-d.
I think the TTC is an awesome idea for mobility...as a matter of fact, I may GO train in from Burlington. Hey, maybe we could meet/start at Union Station?
Good morning all, I will be in Toronto on the 11th with my family in the evening for a party and we're trying to figure out if I'll stay down for the GTG (that would require a place to stay and then a way home on Saturday) or travel home after the party is over and then head down again in the early morning to meet up with everyone. Does anyone live close enough to Orillia to give me a lift home on Saturday night? Oh and I'd need a couch to crash on too and I'd be getting in late but not to late. I don't eat much and I'm really clean :) At this rate I'll most likely just do all the driving instead. Just throwing that out there.
I hope it all works out and the locations that have been posted re fine with me.
All the best to everyone and if on the off chance that someone can help me out I leave you with a great big THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
If it's not too cold, I'd like to get a shot of the new addition to the ROM. I used to hang out around the Yorkville/Cumberland area as a trouble-child, it's gotta still be uber-trendy, no? Or, Queen's Park....I like Brad's idea of Kensington Market, Spadina/Dundas for the crowds in Chinatown, the emo freaks and heads down on Queen St W, Casa Loma...I dunno. How about my initial plan, from the other thread...we all mount up and head over to Filmore's East and see if they'll let us in with our camera gear? :-P
If the ROM is on the agenda, its only walking distance from the UofT campus, which has a lot of nice old architecture. From there, walking to Kensington Market, and then Graffiti alley should be short as well.
As for Filmore's, I think the Brass Rail might be better :)
