Toronto Life's 50 Reasons To Love Toronto Now (and 5 reasons to love the waterfront)

In the June issue of Toronto Life, it lists 50 reasons why they love Toronto right now.

Lists are, well, arbitrary. We can imagine the staff of Toronto Life gathering at a story meeting thinking up ideas. Maybe they have a map of Toronto so they try to cover the city. Who knows.

Anyways, from our boring but safe banks (No. 1) to the number of same-sex couples (No. 4) to our enviro-mayor (No. 35) they hit just enough topics to seem to cover the city.

So what about the waterfront community and Queens Quay? The Waterfront Revitalization comes in at No 34, with the magazine citing the HTO Park. Number 43 is that everyone bikes and everyone knows that they have to bike through the waterfront to get from east or west to downtown. And they point to Porter (No. 22) as a civilizated way to travel "we're ready to swap our protest for praise". Finally, at No. 13, they point out to the ethnic food (injera) at nearby Roundhouse Park and the CN Tower's LEDs make it cool (No. 12).

We have to say we agree that there are cool aspects to the waterfront.
