So after 4 months in this wonderful city I have decided to let you all know what I like and dislike about the city so far. Hold on to your hats ladies and gentleman I am about to tell you some things you probably already know..lol..Here goes:
I love the Beach hidden in the south of the city, my fave place to be on a nice day, I love the downtown core. I love all the little bars with huge patios on Queen St East where I live. I love all the small privately owned stores and shops that I spend hours browsing through and finding the most unique treasures I have ever seen. I Love all the different cultured restaurants (some of which I have yet to try but they smell sooooo good I know one day I will :) I love the people (good and the bad) They are all relatively amusing to me and my small brain. I like how my apartment is so small that when I first moved here I stole my neighbours Internet connection:) Ahhh gotta love wireless Internet.. I love the feeling that my neighbours don't know my name, where i am from, my family members and i especially love the fact that it isn't them just not knowing, but that they don't care. I love how I have traveled for hours on public transit and never seen the west end of the city, I haven't seen the north or east either..lol..It leaves me with a whole lot of area to cover when I am bored..
But while I am on the topic of public transit, lets go to what I hate about the city. HmmmmMMMmm Okay, as a day to day rider or the TTC I have to say "JESUS CHRIST" I get on the Queen street car every morning and aside from the normal problems of us losing power it is a relatively decent ride to work at 7am. BUT and I mean a HUGE BUT on the way home is a different story, I leave my work at 4:58 most days and arrive at the Bay on Queen street where I catch my lethal ride home. I have to time it just right because in a matter of 7 min There are 6 street cars that pull up to the stop one at a time, Victoria Park (which turns before my stop) Church (which turns a few streets up) Kingston Rd (almost there) and in between there will be 2 or 3 that will read Neville Park which is the one I have to take because I live at the end of Queen St East one stop before Neville Park. As I watch all these cars and I spot the Two or three that say Neville Park rearing into a halt I have a split second to trust my gut and decide which one I want to take because I know, oh I know all to well that there is a chance of me picking the one that will eventually "short turn" and kick everyone off at Kingston Rd or Greenwood station. I am so tired of hearing the driver come on the P.A and saying "Good evening folks, I am sorry for the inconvenience but I have been notified that this car will be short turning at Kingston Rd" INCONVENIENCE MY ASS!! He sits there and apologizes to us all for something that happens every god damn night? Wait for the next one you say? HAHAHA I have tried that one, and after another 10 min of waiting i get on the next one and the chances are it will do the same thing because the others aren't far enough ahead to be running another on the same track to the same destination. So I am a TTC hater :)
I hate the smell of Sewer when i am trying to eat, I hate the speed the traffic moves along Queen street near my house, I hate how I pay for parking on Queen street and end up parking around the corner most of the time, I hate how BMW drivers take up 2 parking spots, I hate how people on the street car push and shove you, like hello? I don't want to share your lice, back the fuck off! I hate how I have to wash my windows and dust every other day because of the sand that pumps out of the street cars when they stop. I hate how some people are so ignorant they would rather cut you off then wait patiently for someone to let them in. Most of all, I HATE CAB DRIVERS!!! Where the fuck did they get their licences? Those assholes seem to think they can do whatever they want and drive however they want. I think that they forgot to put mirrors in the cabs when they were being built because in my eyes if they had mirrors then they would be able to see my bright yellow car as they cut in front of me!! Ahhhhh so that's what I hate and What I love, If you read carefully you will see that there are really only a few things that I dislike :) Cab drivers, TTC, Ignorant people and the sewer. All in All I could hate all those in a different place as well:) I love it here and I am here to stay!
