Landmarks
TODO — what landmarks in Toronto are actually worth the time.
5 places
Downtown
CN Tower
553 metres of concrete built to fix a television reception problem, with a glass floor and an option to walk around the outside.

Midtown
Casa Loma
A ninety-eight-room Gothic Revival folly built by a financier who lost it to unpaid taxes within a decade.

Lake Ontario
The Toronto Islands
Fifteen islands a ferry ride offshore, with no cars, a residential community that fought eviction for forty years, and the best view of the skyline.

Bathurst Street
Fort York
The garrison the town was founded around, where the Americans blew up the magazine in 1813 and started a chain of events that burned Washington.

Downtown
Nathan Phillips Square and City Hall
Two curved towers around a clam-shaped council chamber, which the city's own architects thought was a mistake.
