Jernie's Hub

We are enjoying a nice weather (over 20 degrees celcius) since last week. Finally, we are jacket-free! The swift change of the weather here amazed me. Now, I have to revisit the sight-seeing maps and will be back in the streets.

I had been around downtown, carefully observing how the city has transformed from a hybernating mode of the winter to the vibrant mode of the spring. The streets had surely been a lot more busier than before and displayed a lot more smiling faces. A lot of coffee shops and restaurants had opened their outdoor sitting areas. Right below our apartment is a stretch of restaurants and coffee shops. When I look down the streets, it is so tempting to hang-around outside. It is really amazing to see how different this place has become.

Here are some shots around the city:

A live performance theater at the Yonge St. (near Dundas St.). It is currently showing 'We will Rock You'.
The old Toronto area. The outdoor bar/restaurant is usually full around lunch time until late evening.

The Hard Rock Cafe at the Dundas Square (oppsite the Eaton Centre).

A popular food joint along the Front St. East.

Spring cleaning.

A popular bargain shopping centre at Bathurst corner Bloor Sts. The "one location only" shopping centre is located in midtown Toronto in the culturally diverse, safe and vibrant neighbourhood known as the Annex. The immediate area around Honest Ed's store is called Mirvish Village, a unique shopping area featuring boutiques, book stores, artists studios, antique shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.
