You know what, southern Ontario is a nice place. Ingersoll, my hometown, isn't a bustling place, but it's home. I'm going to miss seeing the community centre where I worked as a lifeguard in high school.

What I'm going to miss about Toronto:

What I'm going to miss about Kingston:

- the great restaurants for such a small city - Atomica, Olivea, Grizzly Grill, Woodenheads, Chien Noir, just to name a few
- gay night at the Grad Club
