Hey Canadians! (Hey HEyHEY!)
I live in the Deep South, Alabama. But I'm considering making a trek up to
Toronto in late August. (I'm a inveterate Rush fan, and I really want to see them on their own turf. Plus, I love Canada... all the best comedians come from there.) It's not a done deal yet, but just in case, wondering if you'll give some Toronto tips.

1. First concert I ever saw was Rush Farewell To Kings Tour

I can still hear Neil Pert whaling away on those drums it was magic
the whole show was surreal.

As far as Toronto goes your arriving with American $ so that's a good start.

I would stay near the Beaches area Queen Street east maybe look up some Bed and Breakfasts online for that area of town.
It's a more layed back area of Toronto a lot of artists & left leaning folks. Cool Restaurants Coffee bars pubs & stores right next to Lake Ontario. & the Beach(s)

Toronto is fun to visit but Vancouver does it for me.

Rush in T.O. sounds like a good time.

Enjoy

2. my first Rush concert was on Moving Pictures in Birmingham (Alabama, not E
ngland) :)

Neil Peart must be half machine!

Vancouver is really far away.
