228.0. "visiting" by PEKING::BAKERT (eyes) Mon Sep 11 1989 15:02

Good Afternoon (morning to you Canadians)

My name is Tracie Baker , I work in Winnersh in England and will be visiting 
Canada soon (again) I will be going to Toronto and staying in Ottawa (is this
spelt right?) .  This trip will hopefully take place in November/December , I
will be visiting friends.  I came over last year in July , whilst you were
suffering the heat wave (loved every minute).

If there is anyone out there , that would perhaps like to meet up for fun , I
would be interested to here from you .

    Dear Tracie,
    
    You say that you're going to Toronto and staying in Ottawa (yes
    you spelt in correctly). I don't know if you are aware of the fact
    but the two cities are very far apart like almost 200 miles if not
    more. I live in Dublin now but I'm sure a few more of my fellow
    Canadians who are at home will join in very shortly.
    
    Ted.

Dublin !!

    Hi Tracie:
    
    Oshawa is about 3/4 hour drive from Toronto. The Digital office
    (one of two main ones) is right in the heard of downtown Toronto,
    on University Avenue, very close to Queens Park. 
    
    If your provide some more details about your interests: what you 
    like to see, do, etc., we'll be in a much better position to suggest
    venues and place worth exploring.

>   I like doing most things , but I would even be interested in visiting the
Toronto offices , to be honest I did not even realise that we had offices
there!

I am afraid I do not know where queens Park is , but it is possible that the
people there , I am staying with could always come along to help me find my way
around !!  I visited most place there last year .  I would though like to visit
the Dome beside the C.N tower as it was not complete when I was last there !

Would be glad to meet with anyone , as I will hopefully be staying for 2 weeks
(longer , I wish)

Thanks for writing , Tracie Baker.

228.5The Dome?SUBURB::HARRISONAAlastair Harrison @RDLWed Sep 13 1989 09:399
    Hi Tracie,
    I am working at Queen's Hse in Reading. I have travelled to the
    Toronto area several times, the most recent was during December
    last year. It wasn't the most pleasant of trips as I was there for
    a funeral in London(Ontario). My cousin Claire is a Doctor in Toronto
    and when I was there last I helped her move into a new apartment.
    I went up the CN Tower while I was in Toronto and spotted the new
    Dome, can you tell me what it is or anyone else for that matter?
    			regards   Alastair

Alastair and Tracie:

	The SkyDome is a football/baseball/rock concert/play pen
facility with a retractable, solid roof.  Some supercillious Torontonians
have said that it is the ONLY one of its kind in the world.  It has
been used for the aforementioned activities for the last three months
but if you wish to see an event there - forget it.  Tickets are very scarce,
however you can take part in the numerous tours that are conducted in this
overgrown igloo.

	Tracie, you told Ted Egri that you felt he must be daft to live in
Dublin rather than Toronto, weeelllll let me say this about that!  I'll take
the grime and patina of Dublin to Toronto's glass and steel any day.  Seriously,
though I would find it very difficult not to accept a posting in Dublin except
for the fact that I would have to leave the snow behind in exchange for
coal-induced smog during the winter!

	Ted, anytime you want to exchange postings, let me know!

G'day,

Pat

	
228.7"Only in Toronto? Pity!"TRFSV2::P_KLINOWSKIThu Nov 09 1989 13:069
    Tracie,
    I work in the uptown Toronto office and have a pretty good idea of
    what is going on in this city of glass and concrete.  If you could tell
    me when you have plans on coming, I can see what events are occuring at
    the skydome.  Some of us supercillious Torontonians can get tickets to
    the skydome.  They even had a cricket match last weekend!!!
    Keep me informed.
    
    Cheers, Paul
