“Toronto is a special city, and the environment is perfect for the arts; free and alive.” — Emory Cohen

• Hunched with broad shoulders by Lake Ontario
• Scowling at the world
• Toronto’s buildings frame a lean, angular face
• The CN Tower itself
• What a miracle this place is
• Center of the Golden Horseshoe,
• That agglomeration of 9 million souls —
• Soon to be Ten
• The Golden Horseshoe
• The name says it all
• Economic opportunity, freedom for newcomers
• A land that time forgot
• Toronto:
• Scenes and vistas of snow and flowers
• Rivers and trimmed parklands
• Lusty skyscrapers and magnificent homes
• Toronto:
• Center of the known universe
• Where sports come to play
• The buck stops here
• And multiplies
• When they ask where you live and
• You say Toronto,
• They say Ah. I’ve heard of that.
• And that’s what makes it an alpha world city.
