There is nothing sweeter than the smell of fresh cut grass on a baseball infield, the click of a wooden bat and the taste of a hot dog at a warm sunny daytime double-header.

Most people will not type your domain name in unless they already know you. I would keep both sites and optimize each site for 5 different cities, that way you can market to at least 10 cities. When I say market 5 cities, that is for a specific page. Example--only put 5 city names on a home page so you do not dilute your SEO. Create city specific pages, one page one city; SEO the city page for that city only and you can create as many city pages as you like. So each website can market to an almost infinite number of cities. The hard part is trying to create content that is unique for each page.
If you want to redirect, then I think you want to do a 301 redirect, this may pass some SEO strength of the first site. But, your first site is a parked site, not sure it would help anything.

When you have new cards printed, put both websites on them.

Shane, you can log into your registrar (where you purchased the domains), go to the company based domain, click on forwarding and type in the Toronto address. This will forward one to the other.

Is that going to help him? I would think having the 2 sites optimized would be better, but I could be wrong. I guess I never really understood why someone would want to redirect

2 is always better than one. Shane is just looked to have one for now while using the other for paper marketing. He can add a 2nd real site later once he finishes the first.
