GWT: EPL - Matchweek 31

[Savant]

Boston is fun, but it’s better if you are single

Unless you’re in the touristy parts of Old Montreal, it feels way more older American city than the supposedly hyper American Toronto does.

I lived in Saint Henri when I lived in Montreal, and the Sud Ouest might as well be Chicago.

Toronto sucks as a tourist but I adore living there.

Saint-Henri is now one of the hottest spot in Montreal. So many new restaurants, bars and condos.

Oh trust me, I know - I lived there recently enough to know this. The condo-ification has been largely limited to along the canal though (unlike in Petite Bourgogne and Griffintown), and so there's still a marked difference between the two sides of Atwater. Paid extraordinarily good rent in Saint Henri I'll tell ya.

If you cross the canal, there's a similar dynamic between Verdun and, say, Ville Emard or LaSalle.

I have a very soft spot for Montreal, even though I actively chose to come back to Toronto. But Toronto gets a bad rap, IMO. There's so much wrong with it, but it's got so much going on and I really do love that I've ended up there.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Why does Toronto even get such a bad rap in the first place? It's always struck me as totally fine. I enjoy it.
