Once known as "Toronto the Good", this city was once a very religious, uptight place that even banned Sunday shopping. The city became somewhat boring & the only time to have fun was a weekend drive to Buffalo New York. Fortunately, over the last 20 or so years, Toronto has been remolded into a sophisticated & multicultural city.
Toronto is not particulary blessed in terms of physical geography, hence the name HogTown. The reason for this nickname is that Toronto (formerly known as York) was once a muddy swamp. The streets used to flood with mud all the time & pigs from the nearby farms would run around & cause a stir. The living situation was not pleasent back then, especially to the Loyalist migrants from the UK.
Everywhere in this city is flatland, as if the pairies have continued East into this region. It looks kind of like Chicago. The only place with more attractive scenary would be the ravines & valleys, but there is nothing really special about them. The waterfront is a wonderful place to explore, especially the Toronto Islands & streches of it that has parks.
