Sunday on Sunday (summer in summer edition)
Posted on August 3rd, 2025 –
In keeping with recent trends, it’s been a while. As a refresher, remember this?
Now that we’re about in the middle of the season I’d like to take a moment to reflect on how one would have stayed cool in the heat of a Toronto summer without our modern accoutrements.
A dip in the lake might’ve been an option but I suspect that it would have been about as clean as it is today. You can more fully appreciate the meaning of that comparison if you hang out by the water during low tide on hot, humid days. Yum.
Cool drinks, paper fans, and refreshing mist might’ve been helpful but if we’re being honest there’s nothing that compares to a classy ride through Toronto in a horse-drawn carriage, amirite?
If you’re feeling the heat then let’s get our rides on, bitchez!
