Bluffer's Park (Scarborough Bluffs)

Rated this place:

Brimley Road, south end, Scarborough, ON, M1M3W3

Autumn leaves, Escarpment, Scenary

Autumn leaves, Escarpment, Scenary: It's a nice place to bike through. A final journey through a beautiful part of Toronto before the frost rolls in.

Because the escarpment is majestic.

There's plenty of nature to see from an escarpment, just watch your step.

Rated this place:

100 Garrison Rd, Toronto, ON, M5V3K9

Union Station

Rated this place:

65 Front Street West, Toronto, ON, M5J1E6

Go train, Subway station, Train

Go train, Subway station, Train: Thousands of non-TO residents work hard every day to make our city great. They assemble here every evening and wait for GO trains to take them home, away from the hustle and bustle of our fast paced city. Time slows when the city's commercial monoliths recede from the window of a speeding GO train.

Life is moving so quickly that the only way to catch up with it is to Ride the Rocket. Welcome to Union Station! The transport hub of Toronto! From here, you can travel to any location within my great city!

Commuters of southern ontario converge here every morning in this classic revival style complex before going about their daily lives. Here, you can catch the VIA trains, GO trains and TTC subways.
