RobGrand's fave movie theatre is at Regent Theatre because It's tie between this, Mt. Pleasant Theatre and Bloor Cinema. I can’t get enough of the old-school movie theaters!

RobGrand's fave Bike hill is at Avenue Road (south of St.Clair) because One of the few places in the city that you can keep pace with fast moving traffic – and it’s a bit of a rush taking a lane and flying down the hill. Hate the ride back up though, so I move west to Poplar Plains!

RobGrand's fave Greenspace is at Don Valley because There is nothing better than dropping down into the valley and exploring. You can be 100 feet from the parkway and feel like you are lost in the woods. The valley is full of wonderful wildlife and magical flora, and it is right in my backyard.
