A friend of mine had a medical conference scheduled in Toronto April 6th - 11th, so I opted to tag along and take advantage of the free hotel room. The weather wasn't great most of the time I was there (including a little light snow which they'd gone the month of March without), but fortunately I did finally get some decent weather the last day & a half I was there. I tried to hit up many different neighbourhoods, but there are still plenty that I hope to visit whenever I'm able to get back. Despite the weather, I had a fantastic time. Toronto is terrific!

I hopped on the Queen Street streetcar & headed off to The Beaches neighbourhood






Don't worry, this is the back side of the building. The front is on Queen Street and has retail space (though plenty of empty space currently)






















































While riding inbound on the Queen Street streetcar, I snapped some photos out the window as we passed from The Beaches into Leslieville.










Heading over the Don Valley Parkway from Leslieville into Corktown


I hopped off the streetcar at this point and walked the short distance down to King Street where I rode that streetcar into the St. Lawrence district

Goodbye Toronto. Had a great time!
