A Stroll Along Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario

I took a stroll along my old neighbourhood, Queen Street West today...OMG, a lot has changed...Silver Snail is now moved to 329 Yonge, the bookstore that used to sell small-press books is gone, the 360 Club (where Nicole sang there one Saturday night) was closed...many new trendy shops are now in their place including a huge Shoppers Drug Mart...Steve's Music Store is still there, so are Drake Hotel, Condom Shack, Starbuck, Sushi Time (where I took Ileana to try out her first Japanese food). City TV - of course now - is the home of CP24 and Much Music (City TV has since moved to Yonge and Dundas). But like before, it's always fun to walk along here! I saw a great-looking young man wearing a fur coat today (it's 16C with sunshine)...a pretty lady dyed her hair in bright red colour...another dyed hers in bright green (they don't know each other)...a guy in the old mohawk hairstyle...a band singing on the street (they sound better than the subway musicians who are usually quite boring to listen to)...old hippies, young urban weirdos...except this time, I didn't see any girl wearing any nightie, (trust me, a few years ago at the same Starbuck on Q St W, I did see one wearing a pink night gown sipping coffee with her friends!)
