The Bloor Street Cinema
506 Bloor St. W

(http://www.bloorcinema.com). a century-old, independent movie theatre that often features classic favourites in addition to current box office hits. definitely the place to go if you feel like watching dr. strangelove on the big screen. evening shows are $5, plus a $3 membership fee that's good for 6 months. if you're in town for halloween, the midnight screening of the rocky horror picture show is recommended.'

Neighbourhood Stroll
Neighbourhood Circle

If you're interested in victorian architecture, the annex is a great place to just wander. the area includes countless detached and semi-detached homes, most built in the elegant victorian style at the turn of the century. north of bloor are the mansions, south of bloor are the rowhouses; both are equally worth a look. admiral road and elgin avenue are particularly attractive.

The Fringe Theatre Festival

(http://www.fringetoronto.com). one of the city's cultural highlights, the fringe festival is an annual summer event featuring comedy, drama, dance, and a range of other independent productions put on in and around the annex. 2008 is a particularly big year, since it's their 20th anniversary.
