My First Time in Canada : Toronto City Airport to Midtown w/

It was my first ever time in Canada, and I needed to get to my AirBnB in Midtown at St. Clair Avenue. Luckily I had help from ‪@JohnnyStrides‬ , a local KZbinr. We took public transit to Midtown Toronto and it wasn't exactly a smooth commute with delays and diversions.

Before Porter Airlines came into existence, there was a airline called People's Express that flew to Newark Airport. It was a "no frills" choice that offered less expensive flights to limited destinations.

@@danmcclaren5436, he's being full of it; there are problems with streetcars here in Toronto, but that mostly because of the _automobile_ traffic and not because of anything else; Toronto streetcars are reliable. come as fast as they're supposed to and can move (and carry) a lot of people (the current Flexity Swift ones.)

Naw man, you don't wanna come to Toronto, it's one of the worst cities in Canada, if you wanna go I'd say plan it, do what you wanna do and leave asap. The best tourist locations are:CN tower, Rogers centre, and Ripley's Aquarium. They are all in the same location so you don't even need a bus to go to and from if you wanna do several of them. You will have a blast, but otherwise nobody likes Toronto. Sorry, but that's how it is Sincerely, a Canadian

I did not know there was called 'midtown' at St. Clair, but one time when I went back years ago, it was not as developed. One time out, on Porter in 2019. TTC, and "Rocket" streetcar. I finally got to CNE on that trip.

Yep it’s not as developed as other parts further north but still considered part of Midtown.

[@kayflip2233]

No one really uses the term "midtown" in Toronto. Also, AK was correct, the CN Tower is the tallest STRUCTURE in ONLY Canada. The tallest structure in North America is the KVLY-TV mast, in ND which is about 200 feet taller than the CN Tower. AK said "structure" not building or tower.

[@Nouvellecosse]

It's the tallest _freestanding_ structure in the western hemisphere. Anything taller has to be held upright by support cables.

[@mefisto7583]

well they should. because you should have proper names for your city's neighborhoods instead of intersection names which is not a neighborhood/whole district

[@kayflip2233]

I think Johnny Strides just sometimes acts like a know it all when he is often wrong.

[@jonathanray5066]

@@mefisto7583 Midtown is used for marketing and it is slowly catching on by people who move in. The reason is that midtown used to be further south, and the older generation/ people who grew up in&near there find it confusing. For example, Uptown decades ago, used to be Yonge/Bloor ( i.e. old uptown is further south than the new midtown). which is now just the northern end of downtown, or Yorkville.

[@C-mac_in_the_6ix]

[@JTCFC1]

Toronto is very unique look up other areas like Annex or Queen West or Leslieville. Its because they stayed in the finance and downtown area where there are a lot of new condos.

[@chrislim7976]

A lot of visitors say that. There is really no defining feature when you think of Toronto. At the end of the day it's a bedroom/work community.

[@Nouvellecosse]

It's actually extremely unique overall, but there are some generic looking areas such as between Union station. This was mostly new land that used to be under lake Ontario and then later industrial uses like a rail yard before being redeveloped for other things.

[@Nouvellecosse]

@@chrislim7976 There are quite a few defining features. Besides the CN tower, there's things like the bright red streetcars, the green and orange taxis, the Toronto-specific architectural vernacular of many of the brick houses seen throughout the inner city, landmarks like City Hall, etc. Visitors saying it has no defining features either just didn't do much (if any?) exploring.

[@bobbbxxx]

38:34 It's all about a lack of funding, as funding for the subways from Provincial and Federal governments was pathetic for an entire generation. Things are definitely getting done now, though.

[@Neville60001]

I disagree with Johnny about _one_ thing in the conversation he had with AK; Toronto does *_not_* (and _did_ not) need any more subway lines other than the Downtown Relief Line proposed and planned by David Miller along with the Transit City light rail project planned for Toronto's Inner Suburbs (North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York, and York.) The currently going forward (unless it can be stopped) Ontario Line, which has a stupid-and unneeded-elevated section that is going to destroy a part of Toronto that has wildlife in it, as well as devastate Leslieville and also destroy a community centre frequented by a sizeable chunk of Muslims, and for what? So that current mayor John Tory and Doug Ford (premier [governor] of Ontario) can indulge their subwayitis? Toronto needs more transit, yes, but it should be _sensibly_ planned transit, not only subway lines built with no good reason 'just because'.
