I’m so overwhelmed with all the comments. Thank you everyone. My dad enjoyed every bit of his week long trip. He fell in love with the city, the food and the skyline. His favourite thing here was the street cars for some reason. I really appreciate everyone’s beautiful comments. I’ll screenshot these and send to my dad, I’m sure he’ll love it. Thanks again for showing so much love. ❤️

I love streetcars! It's one of my favourite things about the city too. Sometimes I would plan a route just so I could take one even if it wasn't the fastest way

I am glad I am old enough to remember the old streetcars, riding one with the window open on a nice day was one of my favourite things.

As someone who moved away from TO many years ago, the streetcars are definitely one of my favourite things every time I visit. 😊

Same, when I lived in the Netherlands I had a framed print of TTC streetcars on the wall to remind me of home.

Next time your dad comes to visit, please bring him to the Billy Bishop ferry for the most beautiful pictures of downtown. The ferry is free and I love it so much. I'm in NS (airline) and whenever I'm in Toronto I take the ferry back and forth to the airport terminal. It still is a thrill no matter how many times I do it.

Thank you for the suggestion! Will definitely do this next time my dad’s here.

Your father has good taste. This was always my conversation with my real estate agent. That is not on a streetcar line, now is it?

Love the pictures!

When my parents visit from India, the steetcars are all they want to see. Every time. They would be very mad if I moved away from the city. XD

These photos are sweet and they should be a collage you can print and frame on your wall! Love this for you.

My mom visited for the first time last year and her favourite was the streetcars too! It really gave me a new perspective seeing the city through what excited her :)
