I'm already there. Nothing'd make me happier than to live closer to downtown in some happening neighbourhood.
Actually, friends of ours had the most perfect downtown place ever! We went to a couple of parties there before they moved back to Montreal. It's described in the anniversary party scene in "What is This Thing Called Love?". Gmajorette read my description and said "Ray and Liz's place, right?" It was right near Church & King, so close to everything including our favourite Thai restaurant, and streetcars and subways steps away.
But, the suburban bungalow we live in now suits our needs, if not our dreams. Gmajorette dreams of a rural place far from everything, complete with horses, but that's not my thing.
Maybe it's because I grew up in the suburbs that I'm drawn to downtown ("run like moths we drift into the city/a timeless old attraction/cruising for the action/lit up like a firefly just to feel the living light" - RUSH, "Subdivisions"), so my dream place is more urban. Then again, Gmajorette grew up four blocks away from me, so go figure.
I love the city, and I love that you can get anything, do anything or go anywhere in it.
