9. In Conclusion
 EstablishingThe Waterfront Bistro in Toronto,
we may keep in mind the closeness of
downtown restaurants and look westward
along the coastline towards Brigantine Cove
and Froster Soak City. Accessible from
Gardiner Expressway, Lake Shore Blvd. W.,
and Remembrance Dr., other places to
observe nearby are the Queen Elizabeth Bldg.
near Princess Blvd. and Garrison Common,
more inland and next to Bathurst St.
