"This book takes us on a brilliantly conceived and thoroughly idiosyncratic walking tour of Canada's biggest metropolis. With the author as our guide, we discover anew the places city dwellers encounter every day, travelling beyond and beneath the obvious landmarks to discover Toronto's metropolitan soul. From the unexpected beauty of industrial sites to civic icons like the Dome and Maple Leaf Gardens, Mays never fails to delight and inform as he uncovers the archaeology of memory that lies in the urban landscape." - WorldCat

Excerpts

Though I had been living only twenty miles across Lake Ontario, in Rochester, New York, I imagined Toronto to be a quaint old fishing village with a large and famous university settled improbably in the middle of it. This misperception—not less absurd, because unquestioned—is nor unusual among Americans, who tend to have odd ideas about Canada in any case.
Page xvi, added by Brittany Bunk.
