Toronto, Ontario (2006)
Part II:  Toronto Steets
  
  
I got into Toronto Thursday night.  In the morning, I went for a stroll to capture a few shots of Union Station downtown.  Later in the day it was dryer and brighter, and I went for another walk to capture some images of the streetcar activity in Toronto.

I stayed at the Bond Place Hotel at the corner of Dundas and Bond, and I was happy I chose it.  Not only is it in an ideal location for getting around anywhere by foot, streetcar, or subway, but it's also a streetcar railfan's dream.   There was an endless stream of streetcars everywhere, right in the middle of all the other vehicle and pedestrian traffic, and the Bond Place hotel is the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to check that out.  Check them out at bondplacehoteltoronto.com.

 It's Toronto!  I started my morning at the Victoria restaurant on Victoria Street.  They made a decent cheese & onion omelet and "damn good coffee".
