City blogger?

How many of you blog about the city you live in and the things going on in your area? Do you know of many Canadian-centric blogs that don't sound like regurgitated tourism pamphlets? I find that NY bloggers in particular are almost always--and successfully, no less--talking about the great things going on in their city, but I rarely see that in Canadian blogs. Surely this country must have its own version of the "happening" city covered from head to toe by enthusiastic bloggers!

I blog sometimes about what is going on around Toronto, although I don't know how exciting my posts are. I also read www.blogto.com daily, which is a great blog about Toronto happenings. There is also http://www.beyondrobson.com/ about Vancouver and http://www.midnightpoutine.ca/ about Montreal. Check it.

Here in Toronto I've found that Torontoist and blogTO are the city's best blogs.

Have you tried BlogTO yet? I think they might even have versions for each of the major cities.

My blog isn't focused on what's going on in the city, but I certainly mention anything that I think is cool.

Alas, I don't post enough about Toronto than I should, I think. There are so many things I could talk about too. Two weeks ago we had a Cupcake Camp. Yeah, that's right--a CUPCAKE camp. $5 for all the cupcakes you could sample (if you were able to get there in time, that is...)

I live in Toronto and write a bit about what I do here, ranging from festivals to biking trails! It's definitely not Toronto centred though.

I write about the CIty, it's people and the daily grind. Vancouver is my home and I love it. Except for when I occasionally hate it ;-)

Ha! Um I guess I hate it when it rains all day and then gets dark at 4pm. And I miss the night life of Toronto Sometimes.
But mostly, It's beautiful and living in such a health-centric city is well worth it.

I rarely blog about London specific happenings. Probably because I'm not overly "involved" with the city. That's bad and I should start getting involved. I really know nothing about what goes on here. I should pick up the paper...
