Most of the year, I am ambivilent at best about the city that I live in. I could really care less about it (except for the obvvious perk that I see more BSS than most people)and find that it has very few redeeming qualities. That all changes in June every year. These are just a few of the reasons that in the summer I actually love the city where I live.
10 reasons to love summer in Toronto:
1. The best thing about Toronto at any time of year is the Olympic Island Concert (though this years pales in comaprrison to past incarnations that have included BSS)
2. Beaches Jazz Festival
3. Kensington Pedestrian Sundays
4. Harbourfront Centre World Routes
5. The Dream in High Park
6. Luminato
7. The Fringe Festival
8. Caribana
9. Patios
10.Downtown Jazz Festival
Sadly, for the first time in years I will be missing what is possibly the best weekend in the city of Toronto - Caribana. But it is for a good cause - I will be off revisiting my childhood with my sister in Cape Cod and most importantly - seeing whales!!!

Matt - sometimes it pays to be from Toronto after all, but again, I usually am only of that mind in the summer and on rare other occasions usually coinciding with performances by Arts and Crafts artists.
The pic is indeed BSS - I got it from their tour manager's (David Scheid) blog I think: http://thisishappeningtome.typepad.com/
It was from a while ago though, you may have to sift through a bit - Scheid has some other classic shots in there too.
Thanks again for the Lollapalooza show, it will definately be on a loop for a couple of weeks!
sarah.thanks...enjoy lolla & now bonnarooooooo
