Places within six hours driving distance of Toronto - lilbones - 08-08-2006

Me and my buddy are planning on taking a road trip somewhere tomorrow, and it has to be within six hours driving distance of Toronto.
The frontrunner is Montreal, but we've both been there several times. Any underrated spot that's worth hitting within that radius? All opinions are welcome and appreciated.

THANKS!

If I were you - I would not go to Montreal - I heard a rumor your car will get stolen.

Why not hit the Finger Lakes in New York State?
Tons of wineries and tasting and tours - stay the night - check it out.

Within 6 hours of Toronto is the rock and roll hall of fame in cleveland ohio. Cleveland is a pretty cool town and it's really not a bad drive. Lots of cheap hotel deals there too.
Have fun

I believe Hell is within six hours of Toronto. Simply hop on the 401 or QEW during rush hour.

if you're going to cleveland make sure to stop in windsor and come out drinking

But be sure to grab a map at the gas station when you're fueling up for your trip -- you could save yourselves time and money by eliminating inefficient routes to your destination (like "Cleveland via Windsor", for example).

Thanks for the varying suggestions, and I didn't think Windsor was en route to Cleveland, but it's always good to have another place to drink.

It came down to Montreal and Cleveland, but we chose Montreal because a) it's a sure bet for a good time, unlike Cleveland, which is too dependent on what's happening that week in town (there are no concerts there that would be interested tomorrow or thursday) and b) we have a place to stay for free, which is good for our student/student-journalist bank accounts.

I'll try not to get my car stolen. But that's a whole other thread.

chancellor and I (along with some other friends) are heading to montreal tomorrow and staying until sunday. where will you be?

If you are a fan of baseball- Cooperstown, then you could goto the soccer hall of fame in Oneonta. then possibly deviate like previously said to the finger lakes.
