Yonge Street / Urban Outfitters

I'm not sure why, but Yonge Street was closed off when I went there. Maybe it was because of the G20 thing going on, but it was cool, walking down the middle of Yonge.

Haha, I love some of the huge billboard ads here, like this Chloe one, I especially love Chloe's See collections. And Drake, one of the hardest working kids I know, always making Toronto proud. I have so much admiration for him. I find him so inspiring, the honesty he injects into his music and how he's managed to have so much commercial success yet stay so true to good art.

And of course you have Urban Outfitters. One of only three in all of Ontario, one of only two in Toronto. It's my guilty pleasure. I just absolutely adore the quirky little novelties you can find in this place. Incredible little toys, new vinyl, and artsy books.

I like to browse the sale racks when I visit too. This Yonge St one has quite the retail space going on. It's probably the nicest looking one in Ontario.

Yonge & Dundas is probably the hugest thing on this part of Yonge. It's a youth culture hub. Ryerson University's right next to it, and they have a flourishing abundance of well respected art programs going on, so you're bound to find some interesting things to do around here. Like NXNE! Haha, that'll be coming up in my next post.

If not, you can always default ot H&M to get some shopping done, and then stop by the Hard Rock Cafe to catch some lovely music memorabilia.
