FACES AND PLACES–TORONTO, ONTARIO

Leave your car at home!  A nice train ride into Toronto dumps you off on Front Street where you can get wherever you need to go by cab, street car, or shoe.  Once you get settled in find a place to get your day pass for local transit and you’re off!  From Yonge Street to [...]
