When you travel, you get an interesting view of how other people view your city. Here in my former hometown of New York, Montreal is thought of fondly. I had lunch with a casual friend from college who asked how I was getting adjusting to Toronto. When I corrected her and said I live in Montreal, she exclaimed, “Oh, I’m so glad! I thought you were in Toronto, and I felt so sorry for you.”
