It's a great city, but it does take some growing into. Great neighborhoods include Queen Park West, Parkdale, Leslieville (the original locale for the Kids in the Hall), and ditto on Kensington Market and Ossington. I lived in the Beach, which is also very nice, but a little quieter in terms of the hip and cool artsy vibe of the city.<br />I'm very jealous of your move! I moved out West a year ago and have had a really hard go of it, being from back East all my life.Anna of The Analog Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468859629485550829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-22563412286858849232011-07-27T00:46:48.635-04:002011-07-27T00:46:48.635-04:00Sorry to hear about your apartment problems!

I hope your apartment stuff is sorted out soon so you can get out and explore! Start with Kensington Market and Trinity Bellwoods Park. Then stop into Jaiden's Petals on Ossington and say hello to the lovely, lovely owner, Dani.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328323190253898990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-2397770141521153332011-07-26T19:00:43.558-04:002011-07-26T19:00:43.558-04:00How I love the way you write.

It's a fabulous city, and once you've found a new place to live (so sorry to hear that your current new place is so horrible! what a nightmare!), you'll be able to enjoy it. If you want to relax, take the ferry to the island and walk along the sea wall.

It was horrible. So I totally empathize with what you're going through. I sure hope you're able to find a better apartment soon!<br /><br />I also think the dress would be perfect. It's so beautiful. I just got back from a "black tie optional" wedding last night. I wish that it would have been a more casual event so that I could have had an excuse to buy that Mina Stone dress for myself. :)jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455079295448117881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-88660883466941052312011-07-24T10:43:29.038-04:002011-07-24T10:43:29.038-04:00part of the problem was not seeing the apartment b...part of the problem was not seeing the apartment beforehand, but really, it's a landlord issue. the place would be fine with a little elbow grease, and the location is fantastic.<br /><br />ss--it's mina stone's hera dress. i've seen it at a lot of places on sale including anaise.ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414537639917539473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-33059498245285388752011-07-24T10:16:00.960-04:002011-07-24T10:16:00.960-04:00the dress is gorgeous! where is it from?the dress is gorgeous! where is it from?ss.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09182450735805992614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-79295629086305297322011-07-24T08:53:00.730-04:002011-07-24T08:53:00.730-04:00oh no! moving is always a huge pain, but usually y...oh no! moving is always a huge pain, but usually you do it to move into a better space.
