There is more construction going on here than in any other place I have ever seen. 

LOL they don't vacuum the streets elsewhere?? Too weird! 

We have grey, brown and black squirrels.

Did you drink bagged milk?

[McGavin]

Well you are here in construction season. We also have red squirrels but they're quite evil.

[cville]

I've seen U.S. street vacuuming.

I've never seen a black squirrel. I would presume, and likely rightly so, that was evidence that Satan had taken squirrel form.

[janiejones]

I have alllllll the squirrels in my yard... Black, grey, brown and a tiny red one (rare!!!).

Don't forget our weird queso! And it's not against the law to walk around topless.

Also - strip clubs are full nude. (a tidbit for your next visit).

Seriously?  Do women actually do it?

No.  Well, rarely.

But we have the right!

[rupertpenny]

There are black squirrels in DC too.

What?  No way.  I'm FROM there and I've never seen one.  Oh god.  They were hiding from me, weren't they?  Those creepy ass rats with fuzzy tails, all grouped together in dark places.  Watching me.

Sometimes - in acceptable situations. We are a polite people, remember.

Lol.  But, I mean- what is an acceptable situation to walk around topless?

@cse1960  !!!

Just remembered my experience at the Sundowner in Niagara Falls. 

A stripper took a man's glasses and... put them... up her vagina. 

No lie. He was visibly upset. Wiped them on his shirt when she returned them. 

Thought you may want to steer clear since you're headed that way... LOL.

I went to AU for grad school and there are TONS of them in upper NW. They seem to be very localized though, I never say any when I lived on the Hill or in Alexandria.

Uh, I think a better question is what ISN'T an acceptable situation to walk around topless.

I work in NYC and see the streets being vacuumed often, but we saw SIDEWALK vacuuming in Toronto last week. That was weird.

Minus the crown stuff, we have all that here in the Great Lake State. Though some parts don't have black squirrels but we do where i live.

Boobly told me that it was entirely legal to be topless anywhere in Toronto, at any given time. 

I felt it was a good idea to keep my shit on, but I did file that little bit away. 

Heh boobly

Wait, strippers in clubs aren't fully nude in the states? What the hell is the point?

[Jalapeñomel]

There are black squirrels in NYC.

It is also legal to go topless in NYC.

[gelukkig]

I am in Iowa.

They vacuum our streets.

Our strip clubs are full nude.

SO THERE, Canada! LOL

That's not a Canada thing

They do it in Philly. I've seen it other places too, but can't put my finger on where. 

[gummybear]

There are black squirrels in Philadelphia. But only on one side of the Schuylkill river, or so the legend goes.

Really really hot. Summer is short after all. 

[aprilsails]

I love these random facts about Toronto/Ontario/Canada.

I hope your son loves Toronto Sue Sue and gets settled in. I'm sure he'll love the city!

[lilafowler]

I heard their geese are real DICKS.

[compassrose]

Cutting the corner of the milk bag is an art form.

I have not mastered it yet.

That's because we have only three months out of the year in which to do it, lol.

I am in NOVA and there are a few black squirrels in my friends neighborhood which is literally right next to mine but none in my mine. It is weird. I also have a few white squirrels in my yard. I think they might be albino but I am not sure.

[sessy]

I have black squirrels where i live in CA. They freak me out.
