Re: Where to settle in Toronto? And what are prices?

I know someone who went there, he'd be 30ish now. He was one of three non-Asian children in his year. He's a ginger!

Re: Where to settle in Toronto? And what are prices?

Leaside. Express bus down Jarvis, walk from there.

Re: Where to settle in Toronto? And what are prices?

I bloody hope not! We lived in Leslieville for ten years or so. At that time one daughter was a lifeguard at Greenwood pool and I commuted to town by tram. It was, an is, an area of terraced houses...
