I love my job, but holy shit, the problems they are dealing with. Of our 45-or-so 8th graders, four have lost parents to tragedy. One's mother had an aneurysm seven years ago, and while she's still alive, she isn't remotely the person she was. We had the father of a student, and mother of another, both murdered in the span of 9 months. And one of my students is losing her mother to breast cancer.

That doesn't even factor in the number of absent fathers that many of them have. Way too much tragedy for kids who are just beginning their teenage years.

Are you still in Toronto or somewhere up north?

Toronto for life. We're actually in the process of a remodelling project on our house, which means I'll be back in the inlaw's basement for a solid year.

Technically I work at an inner city school, though it's in a nice neighborhood a good 3 miles out from the city core. You can see the CN Tower and some other buildings from one of the main avenues in the neighborhood, though.

I was just there and will be back a few times this year. I typically stay at the Sheraton City Center, which is kind of fancy but that's where they keep booking me, so whatever.  Not far from Rogers Center...and apparently, a pretty cool dispensary although I haven't been yet.

You're talking about Cafe 66, which has a number of locations in the city, including on York Street near the Rogers Center. You should definitely check it out, but probably bring cash to play it safe.

There's also a pretty good BBQ place not too far from the Rogers Centre called Cherry Street BBQ. Look it up the next time you're in town - you'll be surprised, I think, at how authentic and tasty it is.

Let me know the next time you're in town - same thing goes for any of you who come to Toronto. I'd be happy to show you around/take you to one of our local restaurants so you can experience good food while you're here.

Nice guy.

I was in Toronto on a high school trip in 1989 and remembering thinking, "This looks just like Chicago, but clean!"

My paternal grandparents fled Russia in 1902 and found themselves in Toronto.  They became Canadian citizens. Then they had second thoughts and moved to Chicago.

You should see it now. The city has had ridiculous growth in the near 17 years that I've been here. Too bad our metro is dog shit.
