With planes flying overhead to the airport a few kilometers away. The area was mostly bland-suburbia with homes ranging from poor to middle class homes in the various neighborhoods surrounding Rexdale Boulevard + Highway 27 in Toronto, Ontario.

Nearby there was Humber College, North Campus, Woodbine Racetrack + Casino, Woodbine Centre and Fantasy Fair. Some random Strip Malls. Thanks to Humber College there was also the Arboretum or the Arb as everyone liked to call it. Some Parkland. A library, grocery store, a few restaurants. But overall it felt like everything was spread apart. I loved having a bike, or rollerblades... everything was always space out, far apart. Often feeling desolate.

I was really thankful for the parkland there and the arb, because otherwise that place would have probably driven me crazy. And even still, even with it being such a bleak place, somehow, I still feel nostalgic over it

Thank you very much! Likewise, keep on steeming!! :)

Rexdale is pretty ghetto no? I grew up in Scarborough.

Yeah, not too far from here was Jane and Finch, which was known for being really ghetto. Never been much to Scarsborough. I imagine maybe a similar feeling... Lots to check out in the GTA though that's for sure. Thanks for the comment :)

My brother lives in the beaches now most of my high school friends moved either to 905 suburbs or downtown I don't think I know many people in Scarborough anymore..
