OT: Anyone here from Toronto?

My wife and I are going to be making a side trip to Toronto in early September and I'm trying to find ideas for things to do. I think we'll probably stay at the Roger's Center hotel (I don't remember the name) so obviously we'll enjoy a Blue Jays game. Are there any other can't-miss attractions? Or card shops?

Are you sure you can't buy them here? I've seen both...

<< <i>I think Mathew lives there. Or near by anyway. >>
Yup,
I live just an hour and a half south of Toronto. Things to do in Toronto?
The Royal Ontario Museum (or known as the ROM) is great. The Hockey Hall of Fame is right by the Roger's Centre. The CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) is going on right now. Lots of Broadway show are always going on. Toronto is the largest city in Canada and one of the largest in the world so there should be tons to do if you google Toronto events.
But just as long as you catch a Jay's game then all should be great. I actually just bought 8 tickets to the Saturday afternoon game on the 22nd of August against the Angels. Talking my family to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary.
As for card shops there is one right by the Roger's Centre called Legends of the Game that use to be the place to be at one time. Not sure anymore though.
Enjoy the trip

Always looking for Chipper Jones cards.
Im a very focused collector of cards from 1909 - 2012...LOL
It's a lot of fun to look at all their cereal and stuff that we don't get down here.
I highly recommend the shreddies. Great cereal

I live right downtown.....there's lots to do. Will you be renting a car?
Right next to the Rogers Centre is the CN Tower...you should check that out. There's some great restaurants along King which is right near the hotel....also you are within walking distance of The Royal Alex Theatre etc...and Roy Thomson Hall (symphony etc)....what exactly are you interested in? That cab ride to the card shop is probably more like $60 - $80 bucks from downtown....you are pretty close to all the action...I wouldn't waste too much on cabs. How many days are you in town?
PM me if you have any questions.

Just stay off the plexiglass floor in the tower. It's freaky.

You would think that living so close to Cananda here in Michigan that you would find it here, but nope!!

Of course all of this will depend on whether we get our passports in time. We just sent them off yesterday so I've got my fingers crossed.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. And if anyone wants to meet for a Blue Jays game on the 8th let me know. I'd like to meet some more of the members here.
