On Lake Ontario's northwestern shore sits a city of awe, beauty, and lore. Toronto is where sports built the SkyDome, and the Maple Leafs and Raptors call home. Its renowned entertainment district lures trendy tourists with its late-night bar tours. And world-class restaurants offer cuisines befitting the palates of kings and queens. We built the CN tower to pierce the sky one thousand eight hundred fifteen feet high. And every spring, folks race up to the top for nature, and that's not going to stop. Torontonians say please and thank you and allow cut-ins when standing in cue. And our city hall hosts a skating rink, it sounds extraordinary, don't you think?

How's a Hawaiian kid know of Toronto? Dad drove, and mom had the map. Dad says Ottawa ahead, so where's Toronto? Mom said that we must have passed it. Clueless Hawaiians--scratch that--parents in Canada. Thanks for Canadian sports insights, and with my compliments, Aloha William

Great glimpse of GTA! I lived there from 1990 to 2018, my marriage moved me a little east but TO is always special!
