So, there's this place called Crescent Town and it's actually a historic Toronto neighbourhood from 1887 but now it's a bunch of apartment buildings and Kiefer Sutherland grew up there and it's not hard to get to but it's hard to find if you've never been there before.

For directions, call 416-691-6448.

There's a walkway from Victoria Park subway station.

If you're driving, park in the Visitor's Parking.
