The Heart of PEI in the Heart of Toronto

If you are in Toronto and wondering what PEI is really like but don't have the time or the money, time or interest to come visit, a major part of PEI is going to be going to be in Toronto for two weeks this spring.  No, I won't be coming through town but the next best thing is.  Anne of Green Gable: The Musical will be doing a two week run in Toronto's Elgin Theatre!    It will be taking a road trip before it begins it 45th(!) season in Charlottetown.  If you are sick of the big city musicals like CATS or Phantom of The Opera or Sound of Music with their filthy felines, deformed organist, and Nazis, I think Anne of Green Gables will be right up your alley.  I have not seen the production but based on the fact that this island is loosely based on the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery,  this musical is very family friendly and will proabably have ample parking (in the musical not the theatre's parking lot....because the lot is in Toronto).  

Anyway it is at the Elgin Theatre between May 7 - 31 and tickets start at 25$.  If you plan on coming to PEI in this summer or next may I recommend waiting and seeing it here because there won't be much else to do.  

Also of note:  big news here is that the lobster market is crashing.  The market price is at about $3/lbs so if you get a chance to buy a lobster at market price go for it.  You'll be helping the PEI economy and you'll be getting a great deal!  Don't buy from Sobey's or Loblaws....even here they are still selling it here for $8/lbs.   Once again, if you plan on coming to PEI in this summer or next may I recommend waiting and eating it here because there won't be much else to do.  

Stay Tuned for Car News!
