Hi. I've been reading for awhile, but just decided to join. Being a native Torontonian, with all of my family branches in Toronto in Murdoch's period, I love the series for presenting the history of the City, as my ancestors would have been there (probably propping up the bar). I've attended a few of the events, including the set tour, 100th episode screening, the pub night and met a few of the cast members.
Looking forward to the discussions.
Cheers |

Cheers Welcome! I'm looking forward to some day visiting Toronto! I'm the best argument for MM as ambassador for Canada's tourist industry. A couple of year's ago I'm not even sure I knew Toronto was a city. I was more familiar with Vancouver and Montreal, and Montreal was the only one that had a sense of "place" in my mind. Now, however, Toronto has a very firm place in my mental map, and it almost has a "homey" feel because of MM. I do hope I can visit some day! |

I hope you can visit at some point......Unfortunately, one of my pet peeves is that Toronto has done a very poor job of preserving its history, so it would look like a very different place than what you are seeing on the screen. Having said that, the spirit of the place survives, fortunately without a lot of the prejudice....
Cheers

I think I recognize you from FB. You'll definitely find it different here. The discussions are much deeper and can sometimes get a little intense ... or fall completely off the rails. Either way I hope you enjoy!  |
