summer in toronto

It's already August 2nd. That's got some people in Toronto thinking summer is over, and the cooler weather isn't really helping. I thought I'd remind everyone what is great about summer and the summer rules of Toronto girls.

1. Toronto girls know it is key to know someone with a cottage - you don't necessarily want to be that person but nothing spells Toronto in the Summer like sitting in traffic on the 400 or the 401 to try to get out of the city.
2. Toronto girls know that you can't wear heels (even wedges) to a jays game if you're sitting in the 500 level - that ramp is long and steep.
3. Toronto girls also know that the difference between the 500 level and 200 level is at least two beers (or 5 at the steamwhistle roundhouse).
4. Toronto girls know the temperature is irrelevant, we only care about the humidex.
5. Toronto girls know the only place to eat in the summer must have a patio. There is no eating indoors from May-September.
6. Toronto girls know the need for this city to get on with food trucks!
7. Toronto girls can spot the difference between a real summerlicious menu and a ripoff menu.
8. Toronto girls know that you must eat something ridiculous at the Ex and you must post to Instragram.We also know the Ex means the end of summer. 
9. Toronto girls base how good a festival is based on the free stuff they get.
10. And finally, Toronto girls know that September isn't too bad. There's a great chance to meet your movie star husband in September.
