1. There is no tweed curtain to hide behind or to keep unwanted visitors out.
2. Not a welcome sign in sight but that doesn't discourage a droning bagpipe player at the entrance to the Inner Harbour from entertaining tourists and driving James Bayers to drink!
3. Horses have the right of way (see photo insert).
4. "Quaint" refers to the hand-painted Emergency Preparedness Container in Irving Park, (Menzies and Michigan).
5. There's a preponderance of palatial poop decks in port during the summer months.
6. Scooters driven by feisty Freedom-55ers are considered a hazard of living here.
7. Guano-producing gulls, cackling crows, and crapping Canada Geese add a certain ambiance to the place.
8. Calling the commissionaires to ticket non-resident vehicles is a favorite pastime of the locals.
9. Sleep-deprivation and hearing loss are considered "collateral damage" (caused by cacophony of cruiseships, the ripsnorting roar of seaplane engines, the humming of helicopter blades, not to mention the hullabaloo of far too many holiday-makers).
10. There are no snakes in the grass, (unless you count the ones slithering about in the eco-friendly hallways and well-manicured grounds of the provincial legislature).
