It seems embarrassment is the only motivator these days.
What happened to Toronto? When I got out of college (dinosaurs still roamed the earth) Toronto and Seattle were where people wanted to move to. They were considered vibrant, safe cities.

Re: Clever passive pothole protest
Manalto, Toronto is still a safe city for city of 2.7 million people. Unfortunately a couple of high publicity events has put a bit of a tarnish on its lustre.
Oh, and one large pot hole.

Good to know. I love the Canadian cities that I've visited. My favorite is Vancouver because I lived nearby (Bellingham, WA) for several years. I tend to gravitate to the coasts, but I'll visit Toronto one day.
Re: Clever passive pothole protest
last week I walked from Vancouver to seattle--150 miles...walked through the peace arch with 70 other walkers from Canada to the US...a lovely day in Bellingham on the way to seattle...first visit to the pacific northwest--loved it!
oh, that pothole with the tomatoes is great!

Jade you mentioned this walk a few months ago. It went well I take it? How did the feet hold out?
Re: Clever passive pothole protest
hey gothic, thanks for asking...the walk was fantastic...I belong to a group called Everwalk...it's lead by Diana nyad (swam from cuba to key west) and bonnie stoll (Diana's friend and head trainer)...it's my third outing with them and I am honored to be part of such a wonderful group....lost only one toe nail and a rather nasty toe blister is healing nicely!

Jade, good to hear only superficial injuries. What’s your next adventure. Maybe a walk from Detroit to Chatham.
Re: Clever passive pothole protest
I will tell you mid September....don't want to jinx it! I love me a long walk that is for sure!
