Was here today for the first time, to watch the Canada Day fireworks.
First of all, it took a damn long time to get there. Caught the 501 Neville Park streetcar at Queen and Parliament, only to be told a few minutes later that the streetcars weren't going any further and a bus would pick us up. Of course, I didn't have a transfer, and I was at the very back of the streetcar, so I was totally out of luck when the jerk bus drivers came around. So....cab ride it was.
The actually beach was quite nice. The fireworks display was great. But again, when we went to leave, getting home was quite difficult. I guess I go back when they finish the track work on Queen. Until then, doesn't seem worth the schlep if you don't have car.
