I am reminiscing about toronto from 2009 to 2013. It was rather ok. I was, by then, more stable after 2005-2006 mayhem. The biweekly The Common evenings, eating meat and cheese plates with beer and writing or reading, alone, were special. The Common was right around the corner from BJGs house. It was a great great cafe during daytime and lounge bar at night, with sometimes spokenword. This house BJG bought was our best location ever living in Toronto, although they (the apartments before over the years) were all pretty good over the 12 years we spent there.
