Wherever I travel it is the mix of old and new buildings that make a city interesting. I'm finding in Toronto the old places I thought were everyday and familiar shine when next to the new gleaming towers and renovations. I feel very lucky to be here in this city at this time to see the dramatic changes happening, some good, some bad. i do agree with urban dreamer on this one in that if ALL the lower charming older places go, TO will be just like everywhere else.
