My husband's family moved around quite a bit, but, only within confines of the city -- no suburb. They'd buy an apartment building, fix it up, sell it after a number of years, you know. So, he's always rattling on about when he lived on Spedina (spelling?) St. I just called my mother-in-law to ask her where she lived. She said Spedina was the first place (1950) (they emigrated from Europe), then Dundess Street, then Downsview, then Hodspur St. (near Bathurst & Wilson), then where she lives now on Bathurst between Wilson and Lawrence. She still lives there six months out of the year. She's here right now for the winter. After the Northridge earthquake in '94 I begged my husband to move back there, but, he said no way (he's been here since he was 22 -- he's 54 now), he had his fill of shoveling snow. So, hey, what's a little earthquake every 20 years or so, right?! We've been married 13 years now and I kind of feel a bit Canadian (by injection!) P.S. My mom's name is Charlane!! (pronounced the same, though)
