A blog that has moved onto my daily reading list is Torontoist, a daily tally of goings-on in the city of Toronto (home to the2scoops), noting some great culture, lifestyle and general goings-on in the city.
They have a great approach to an article (possibly an ongoing series) in Toronto Life magazine called 24 Hours With..., where the idea is you have 24 hours to spend in Toronto, "a single perfect day on an unlimited budget". Money is no object, plausibility won't hold you back.
Torontoist spends it mainly around the College strip and has some fun, including jamming with local rapper K'naan and new local Mos Def and sharing drinks with Mayor Miller and the cast of Train 48. Torontoist has a great day in a "blow a year's salary in one go" kind of way, without being a complete orgy of gluttony. I'm just going to have to crib the Soundscapes idea though.
Which leads to the 24 Hour challenge. How would you spend your perfect day in Toronto? Who with (plausibility doesn't count against you, so waffles with Al Waxman and Don McKellar would be fine), how much, what would you do? Would it be contemplative, hedonistic, cultured? Let me know, I'll post mine up this week. Email your 24 Hours to me and I'll run a compilation on the blog.
