Toronto Or Bust



As a gh fan I am anxious to see what's going to happen on our screens on a daily basis.


I love all the action , adventure and drama that takes place,  but I was super excited as a Toronto Canada fan of the show when they showed a flash of a familiar landmark in the shape of Nathan Phillips Square I was a proud Toronto girl .




Port Charles residents Laura Collins,  Curtis Ashford , Maxie Reeves and Peter August were in our city of 2.93 million people , my only wish they had done  a location shoot in Toronto and had Maxie and Peter see the likes of the Nathan Phillips Square,  and the CN Tower.

Toronto is the third largest city in the world, and the capital city of Ontario.

And its also the hometown of GH's former castmates, Cynthia Preston
( Faith Roscoe), Dominic Zamprogna (Dante), Bree Wilson ( Claudette),  Inga Cadranel (Harmony) and Vinessa Antoine ( Jordan Ashford).


There are so many amazing smells, tastes, places to see and things to do that as a loyal fan of both the city and GH  that  I was hoping the show would actually pull out the stops and show the sights and sounds of our great city.

Aside from just showing them around a town that seems unrecognizable  except for a few screen shots of landmarks , how about  they actually experience what we do.

Maxie would be in awe of Casa Loma, I'm pretty sure of it so it would be cool to actually see her being able to walk around and see it.



Even the homes around there are a worth a looksie, I mean come on now , huge homes, and stuff , some gated like Sonny's compound. 

For theatre goers there's always The Princess of Wales Theater to take in a show ,or The Royal Alexandra Theatre. I've taken in a couple of shows Phantom of the Opera and Cats so , if you're in our city , check them out, we have great restaurants around that area.




Toronto is also brimming with so much culture from Little Italy , Greek Town , China town and Little India,we're a multicultural city and we are damn proud of it .


And then there's Kensington Market , a place where hoards of people go to shop at the markets every day or meet up with friends for a day out.


 They say you gotta get up super early and go before it gets too crazy crowded with people rushing through the area itself.

Its a busy place to go , if you want the best bargains.



And if Kensington Market doesn't strike your fancy there's always the Eaton Cenre ,it has loads of shops and its a great place to have a bite to eat there as well as shop till you drop and over spend like crazy. 

Not like Maxie does but you get my meaning right guys !!!! LOL I'd shop like she does if I had the mind too myself. But not when its supposed to be a romantic get away that girl is out of her freaking mind I tell you.



There's also the Distillery District you can go shopping in, its in Little India and trust me , its amazing to walk on the cobbled stoned area with cars having no access.



And if you want a place to stay, I'm pretty sure  lol , if you're Peter  August you would take your new lady love to  The Fairmont Royal York Hotel. 

Its the oldest hotel in town , and from what I know of it the priciest one of them all. I doubt Peter would slum it at the Holiday Inn to impress our Maximista.


If your a sports nut , like say  Dante or Chase, you'd take the opportunity to take in a game at the Rogers Centre and watch your favourite teams play against our Toronto lads .  

Go Leafs, Argos, Raptors and Blue Jay love our athletes !!!



I've been to a couple of games there myself its always a pile of fun , and you can get some great food there too . 


The CN Tower is close by so if you want to kill two birds with one stone there ya go guys , you can do two things in one day cause they're nice and close to each other. 

So check it out man its worth it and I know you totally won't regret it .

If you're in our city on a cold or rainy day check out the Royal Ontario Museum they have some pretty amazing exhibits. 

The King Tut one was beyond amazing. But don't just take my word for it. If you're in our city check it out and see for yourself.






On a gorgeous day out families , can take the ferry to Centre Island for a picnic and take in some rides while there. Its so much fun for the kids as well as their parents.




If you want to check out the parliament building in Ontario's capital of Toronto, check out Queen's Park, their gardens and check out the building itself. I love the architecture of our city itself.



Come on GH do us a solid and show a character or two actually seeing and doing things in our fair city. taking pictures, eating at the CN Towers revolving restaurant and taking in the night life too .

As you can see up above its got so many amazing things to do.  

So it would definitely would be an added bonus for me !!!!!!

  I swear the cast would get a kick out of it  too! A real location shoot in the Sixes is definitely what this Toronto Canada fan wants to see. 

Just seeing one landmark , its not enough for me lol, don't just throw us a bone to give us a thrill!!!

Ya gotta go whole hog cause Toronto deserves to be promoted for the wonderful city and place that it is !!!

Here is a song about our city   Song  credit goes to  Gaisiasi... 

I love Toronto, and GH so I wanna see them become one!!!
