Are They Kosher?

The time dedicated to exploring the city thus far has been small. A new job takes up more time than one in which you are familiar with the routine. IKEA trips have not hurt the company’s first quarter earnings. And sometimes you are just in the mood to enjoy your new apartment.

This, however, does not mean the exploring has not been completed neglected.

A new belief is brewing that to know a transit system is to know a city. The philosophy of how people get around is important. Through events most likely to be discussed in the future, the opportunity is presenting itself. Certainly, Toronto is automobile-centric, but the transportation system is worthy if you live in the right spots. Mostly, since the majority of people movers are above ground, you get to see more of the city as you tram or bus it.

Finally, you have walking. This proves to be the most enjoyable. You are at a slower pace giving you time to learn the city as you observe it. You can see, hear, and feel the city.

You can also smell it.

Hot dog vendors exist as if spontaneous materializing ballgames are commonplace. The smell of franks permeates. There is no escape.

Then your friend context appears. There are worse smells to permeate a city.

Much worse.

Anyone have some mustard?
