SPI#3: Off the robbed and beaten path

Most discerning travelers know that getting the full experience of a destination requires eschewing well-worn tourist routes.
And besides, who wants another boring guide about local eateries and “quirky” establishments? Haven’t you had your fill of “safe and friendly”? How about some real local flavour?
As you can see on the map above, Toronto is teeming with all sorts of engaging and exciting experiences, ranging from traditional holdups to fast drive-by snatches. You might even get to experience an authentic carjacking.
With an average of over 20 events reported per day you’re bound to find something to get your heart racing almost anywhere in the city!
In fact, for the extreme adventure travel enthusiast there are really only 4 areas to avoid (5 if you include the Toronto Islands).
1. West Hill / Port Union
While the north-west portion of West Hill offers excellent opportunities for thrill seekers, its southern boundary with the Port Union neighbourhood is to be avoided.
2. The Bridle Path
Nothing here but the secluded mansions of rich and famous people. Skip.
3. Downsview Airport
Maybe it’s the area’s historical association with the Canadian military but very little happens on the grounds of this airport. Nearby neighbourhoods are worth a visit.
4. Etobicoke
This western chunk of the city is the traditional home of the Fords but now that the brothers have have either left or are in the process of leaving, it seems that the type of crime that they might attract is evaporating. Perhaps everyone got day jobs.
Luckily, if you take a short bus ride in almost any direction you’re bound to increase your chances of finding a compelling encounter!
I hope you’ve found this post informative and that when you’re next in Toronto you consider visiting one of our city’s many colourful, independent business people!
