Roaming the Underground

A day of thundershowers, with periodic downpours, convinced Kay and I to explore the Toronto underground which starts two blocks south of our apartment and ended for us, near the waterfront at the Air Canada Centre, home of the Toronto Raptors. The underground is a series of corridors, sometimes above ground, within the financial district which connects most private businesses, public facilities, shopping centers, subway and train stations, and residential high-rises within a square mile so people can get around without stepping outdoors, a very practical application during the cold snowy winters, or as in our situation, thunterstorms. Since it was Sunday, many of the eateries and businesses within the corridors which serve the working population were closed but I could easily imagine the crowds during a workday. We also walked the waterfront from Bay Street to Spadina followed by dinner at 'Mother's Dumplings' in Chinatown which was disappointing given its high ratings on Yelp.
