This was a great book when you are not in the mood to read a novel. Dan de Figueiredo gives his own thoughts on their wierd places. Sometimes, painfully honest. I live in Ontario. Over 80% of the places that Dan mentions in this book I never knew or heard of. This book is a keeper. Dan urges to share the book with someone, but how am I suppose to remember about "magnet hill" "the big mosquito" or "art on Spadina"? I am going to visit all these places before I give the book to anyone. ( )
