What an absolute pleasure it was to not have to divert from my intended path, to busy, noisy Lakeshore, and then down again for a few more short moments!
Today was my first go at the recently completed bike path outside our Mimico apartment, and so, when I came to my usual "divert back to Lakeshore" spot along the million-dollar townhomes and condos of the wealthy, just past the butterfly habitat, while riding home this afternoon, I instead continued straight ahead along the water and on towards the more affordable slums of Mimico, where I rent an a top floor, waterfront apartment with a stunning city view, for about the price of my neighbours to the east's monthly condo fees!

Hitherto, the two worlds were separated from one another; we apartment dwellers couldn't get within 500 meters of the uppercrust down the road, but now, I can walk, ride or rollerblade right on over to my wealthy neighbours, and they to me!
I can't think of a better way to celebrate Sunday morning that rejoicing in this very practical and much-needed bridging of a gap. Finally, the west end and the downtown core truly are united.
Alleluia!
