  • Queen Street is known for being a lively street in the heart of Toronto. I joined ‪@TheKenContinuum‬ for a walk from the Parkdale area through West Queen West to Bathurst Street. The area is a very trendy with a mix of restaurants, bohemian spaces, public parks, and apartment buildings.

    11:48-Across the street is the Gladstone Hotel, which was built in the late 1800's and had a train station near it so that CN (Canadian National) & CP (Canadian Pacific) passenger trains could stop off at it and deposit passengers who would then stay at the Gladstone. The Gladstone got renovated a few years back after falling into disuse and disrepair in the '40's and ''50's, and is now a boutique hotel.

    High Park is about the same distance from Bay/King as Central Park is from Wall Street... and is about half the size of Central Park. Queen's Park downtown is smaller, but very central and quite beautiful.

    Hi ActionKid, I'm so glad you and Ken collaborated together. Ken knows so much about Toronto, you can never go wrong walking with him! I would say, High Park would be more like Central Park. If you ever go to Montreal their subway stations are called Montreal Metro. If you are still in Toronto this weekend, Happy Thanksgiving! This was really fun, thank you!👍👍😀🦃🐼

      If watch almost any of Ken's videos or Johnny Strides, for sure it sounds like NY because of all the car honking and sirens. One of the reasons the show "Suites" was filmed in Toronto is because they wanted the same ambient noise.
