Rail Tales

The Toronto West rail corridor rests quietly while waiting for the next commuter train. The lonely yellow beacon calls out to an locomotive that can't be seen.

One by Yonge

One Financial Place is an interesting concrete parkette hidden behind a disconnected jumble of fast food restaurants and glass monoliths. Financial district $10 lunch tip: Ninki Sushi at Yonge and Adelaide. Just go- it's inexpensive and unassuming and it's very, very tasty. Meshiagare!

The rarely empty Spadina streetcar rumbles steadily through the heart of Toronto's Chinatown. The name is misleading; hundreds of cultures are represented along this stretch of divided asphalt. The Spadina streetcar line was only opened recently, in 1997. Before that, it had been traveled by bus for decades. It's almost hard to imagine now, as currently this streetcar carries over forty thousand people every day.
