Ferdinand and Isabel expel all of the Jews from Spain. Even with the infusions of gold and silver arriving during the 16th century from the Americas, this is an act from which Spain never recovers. By expelling their merchant and banking class, Jews and Muslims, the country is left ill-equipped to process the new wealth, which ultimately winds up in the coffers of other countries and squandered on disastrous military campaigns.

Moving to this city three years ago I missed a number of things from Toronto. Shopping on Queen St. West, Chinatown, Little Italy, going to all the great little restaurants that I loved. Things that I took for granted. I guess it's a trade off because I have things now that I never had before. Family around me that I haven't had since I was a kid. Really nice people here ( too nice sometimes). I still have my Toronto attitude though, it's going to take longer than 3 years to get that out of system.

My girl friend and I were reminiscening about our schooldays, way back when. She reminded me of a flower shop on Roncesvalles Ave. near Howard Park on the east side. We all used to take the #504 streetcar and pass by it every day. The sign in the window said "cuuummm on in". I never once noticed this and neither did she until someone mentioned it to her. GROSS!! (at the time when you're 14) Was it a spelling error?? We'll never know.
