I <em>kinda</em> know what a VW looks like, maybe a Porsche, but otherwise it's a conveyance. I'm <em>totally</em> ignorant in that area.

So far I've avoided being mugged or run over so my impression of Toronto's characters is still pretty benign. Unfortunately I don't spend too much time in Kensington (I'm a St. Lawrence man myself), but it seemed pretty busy over the weekend. Maybe it's just because of the tiny sidewalks :) I know, eh, Kato?

But it sure makes for easy (lazy) photographs! Gritty implies a texture to me, Laura, so I can understand why this might not be at the top of your list.

The streets sure do look deserted at times. Isn't the white car in the second picture a Nissan? I love these Cars. Anyways, have a good day!:) Once again, great pictures.

It describes the city well, parts of it anyway. There are some parts of Toronto that I don't miss at all. The gritty parts, that describes it really well. I like the word gritty.

Gritty is one of those words that's been neglected of late. High time to restore it to the parlance of our times, which are indisputably grit-ridden. I'll do my best to work "downgritty" into a conversation today. Who knows, you may have spawned a new category. Your facility with language, sir, is an inspiration.
