Jay Leno said, in his monologue about the Rob Ford crack video, something like, "Well, can you blame him? There's not much else to do in Toronto."
If Jay can't find anything to do in Toronto, he's not looking very hard. There are great jazz, blues, country, folk and rock venues in Toronto. There are professional sports teams. There are theatres large and small. Stores that sell almost anything. I have never lived there, but have seen shows from "The Mouse Trap" to "Hank Williams, The Show He Never Gave" to "Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable". I've seen performers like Misissippi John Hurt, Dizzy Gillespie, Paul McCartney, The Greenbriar Boys, Gord Lightfoot, Rev Gary Davis, Pete Seeger, Oscar Peterson, Muddy Waters, Jim Hall, John Renbourne, The Watersons & Martin Carthy, Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks... plus many great local performers.
I love living in a small town where I can walk to any place I want to go, but it's nice to be within a short drive to Toronto for the attractions of a big city.
