| - Hidden away in a little nook of the city, drive by too fast and you may just miss it. Right off the busy Yonge Street, Mel Lastman Square is fast becoming a place to go in the North End of Toronto.
Every Thursday there is a small farmer's market set up in the area, a great place to buy local produce and products. My mom has become obsessed with Elfsong Apiaries honey stand. She buys the big 1kg jars by the box! Billy Bee Honey, you got nothing on them! In the summer there are a lot of outdoor activities in the area, little festivals (Eco fest was there a few weekends ago) and musical performances.
In the winter, though I've never been, there's a skating rink in the centre. Also a government building is on the west side of the square, so if you have any parking tickets to pay, you might as well hit them up. And there's usually not a lineup, so another bonus. I'm a good driver, so I don't have too many experiences with parking tickets... ;-) perhaps the city of Toronto should make their signage a little more CLEAR! *Uh-HUM*
If you're passing by on Yonge, stop off at Mel Lastman Square for some short-term fun in the sun!
