I remember being a young teenager, exploring the wonderful city of Toronto, trying to find my way to a friend's house east on College...
And I found myself in Allan Gardens. Fearing for my life. I'm from Scarborough, people. And I'm afraid of Allan Gardens. Because while Scarborough may have a bit of gang presence, and some rowdy teenagers with knives, at least it doesn't have meth heads and scary coked out hookers. As well as the needles (I've seen them!).
I'd like to say it's not as bad during the day because they have a leashes off section and lots of cute dogs, but I remember having to interview dog owners in this park for school and a crazy homeless man ruined my shot by running in front of the camera and then trying to steal it.
Avoid at all costs.
