Just an fyi - Scotiabank Theater is playing Casablanca on the big screen tonight, and the Revue does monthly silent film nights.

There is also Trash Palace if you like old B movies

Took me almost 3 years, but I finally found this thread. Yup, a Torontonian.

@sixsexsix :eusa_clap
Thanks for the tip about the movie nights, I'll have to check that out. Silent films are my fave, I admit! Finally back in town from Florida, so still getting myself organised - and freezing my tuckus off, when did the temp drop??

Moved here in 2003 from Vancouver! Loving Toronto and will never move back.

Another event that is taking place is the Toronto Silent Movie Film Festival, here's the link. I plan on making it out to a few of the screenings. They even have live music accompaniment with them!! Exciting. http://www.ebk-ink.com/tsff/home.html

Just joined this forum and just found this thread! Toronto born and raised...still live here. Love this city.

What's not to love? Toronto is truly international. My bro lives in NYC and he and his friends are still convinced we have more cultural diversity than them. Also it's a safe city with very few if any "bad" neighbourhoods. And you can have the best of both worlds living in a large international city and yet it feels small town somehow with all the mini cities within it like Greektown, Little Italy (College and St. Clair), Chinatown, Queen West, the beaches, the Kingsway, etc.

I have travelled all over the world and will never move or leave as we have everything here and Canadian hospitality, charm and manners.

I'm a part time Toronto resident. My wife is working there so I visit every couple of months from England.

Thrift shops were mentioned earlier in the thread. I would love to be given some leads to interesting shops in Toronto I could explore while I am there.

Hi there, definitely check out Gadabout. I believe it was already mentioned earlier. And of course Kensington Market!

I made it back to downtown TO recently to pick up my uncle at Union Station. It brought back lots of memories as my father, who died in 2008 aged 87, used to work at the Spadina Coach yards, now gone and covered in baseball diamonds and the like! I can't see myself ever living there again, but I should take the family down for a long weekend of sightseeing, and vintage shopping!

Hello Retro and Mugwump.

I'm a Scarborough boy myself.

If you remember the alley scenes in "A Christmas Story" (i.e. running past the bully), they were shot on Sears Street down near Leslie and Eastern. It's really just an alleyway itself and since they've closed the car wreckers, it's lost a lot of its Christmas Story look.

Yay! Toronto! I live in the Rosedale area near the downtown core. This city is great!

 

[DNO]

Welcome to the lounge, Toucan. Good to have another Torontonian!
