Toronto: The Good Parts
Inspired by JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford:
Most cities contain good and bad parts, but Toronto has more than its share of the bad, having been ignored at best and willfully hurt at worst by civic leaders at all levels. This forthcoming authoritative book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a subset of Toronto that's more accessible, enjoyable, and lovable than the city as a whole-a subset you can experience to create truly fun and joyful acquaintance with Toronto. These are the tweets I've made about what one can like, nay, love about Toronto, Canada's largest and therefore best city.

Knowing what we know now about COVID-19, I think Toronto could have pulled off pumpkin parades this year, but it makes sense that they didn’t happen. I hope they return next November 1st. They’ll be in my forthcoming book, Toronto: The Good Parts. https://t.co/DsAYN7bZ3c
