Tommy tomsonspit Sunnyside side Portland ## History - I regularly go there to wander. - Visit with my brother - Came to visit often around ~2010 +/4 - I lived in Toronto in 2007 or 2008, right off Roncesvalles. I would bike to Woodbine for work at Zoocheck. ## Misc - I have vague hopes to reconnect with animal and altprotein folks in Toronto. Kitchener has gotten cooler and cooler, me older and older, and draw of going to Toronto for fun when I can have fun in Kitchener means I am going a lot less.
