The above was taken 5 minutes away from my house in Scarborough, on a bridge overlooking some railway tracks and a graffiti covered fence. Cozy, don't you think?
Well perhaps that isn't a fair assessment of my neighbourhood, the same neighbourhood I've belonged to for the entire 23 years of my life. My elementary and high school were only about 10 minutes away, and there are a few parks to play all day in as a child. I should be happy that during my time here I have never been in any real danger or have had anything bad happen to myself and my family. The only thing I was really upset over was the mysterious disappearance of my basketball net.
Yes, it's true. One random night a few years ago my basketball net went missing-- and to this day I still have no idea who managed to take it from the side of my house. I mean it's like 10 feet tall and probably around 200 pounds so you figure it'd be able to fend for itself but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I suppose something worse could have happened. At least they didn't steal my car or break into my house.
(I am also thankful that I was never shot/stabbed/mugged/beat up at Kennedy Station.)
To everyone else in the Scarborough/Toronto area, or where ever you may be in the world, please stay safe!
Goodbye for now old Cliffside area!
