I'll admit that the loud and attention grabbing billboards aren't my most favorite thing in the world. But it seems to fit the atmosphere of this large square though, which has become a bit of a central gathering point in the heart of the downtown Toronto.
What is cool about is that no matter what time of year it is, there is always something happening on the weekends here - whether snow, rain, sleet or shine.
The only downside to the square is that I find it a bit of a dead space during the weekdays. They try to run events, but I usually find it pretty quiet during the week days.
The TO tix booth is here, if you're looking "discounted" performing arts tickets.
