T. Dot- Dundas Square

You could only imagine what it’s like for me as a small island girl moving to a big city like Toronto. Yeah…it was a big transition for me. From being surrounded by couch shells, sand, the salty sea, to the smell of street meat, fast on going taxis and people in business suits running around everywhere. This was my life now. When I first arrived to Canada back in August 2012, I was fascinated by this particular place in the city. This spot soon became my favorite place to be at, Yonge-Dundas Sqaure.




How the Square became My Favorite Place


Have you ever looked at something and were just taken away by its beauty? That's how I felt when I first stumbled in the midst of the Square. I remembering getting off the subway and I didn't know where I was going. I was still so fresh to the city life, that all I wanted to do was explore. I ended up walking around the Eaton Centre and right when I exited the door, there it was. As I was making my way across the street, all of the colorful lights, the music, and the people, captivated me. Did I forget to mention it was nighttime? So the city was quite lit, it was beautiful. It reminded me that I wasn't so lonely living in the city. This place became my favorite place to go at night. Whether it’s during the week or on the weekend, this place became the spot I went to escape from myself.
