Dreaming about living at Canalside

· 🌡️ 60°F

It's odd how when I'm down at Canalside I get this odd feeling like I'm in Toronto on another timeline. It's weird because I think for a moment I'm at the foot of Yonge St. I guess some of the same elements are there, The NHL Hockey arena, the "Financial District" near by & of course the most precious to my heart, Old Industrial stuff & a Great Lake of course.

I guess a part of me wishes I could buy a condo right there. Since I missed out on the boom in Toronto. Then again Buffalo doesn't have really much in terms of new construction as most of the new lofts downtown are all rentals. With that in mind I'm not interested in throwing money away. But in all actuality I So wish one of the rooms in the Harbor Center Marriott was a condo that I could buy.

    That Is not an odd feeling at all ... when they where first building Harbor Center going to events felt like Toronto .... Even more so if you go back in time some when I was younger nothing was open on a Sunday up there but that building something about it yells TO for some reason .... I have not really been on the waterfront there much .... I think there might be ? Condos in the Avant building but again I would have no idea how any of that works a loft is out of my Range well I guess I could not go to anything or maybe just not eat HA .... but Canalside its self not sure about but it has been ages since I've been able to go around Toronto on my own (yeah went last summer for a Jays game but not the same)

    I'm so sad we missed that concert

    I agree about Canalside feeling way different, almost out of place, in Buffalo. I hope they can keep maintaining it once the initial wave of funding is gone.

    It would be insane to have this momentum fall off.

    I'm going to be spending a lot of time here this summer. I'm going to the Arkells show tonight as well.
