Maybe the drugs will move across the street into the new Popeye's Chicken mmmmmmmmmmmm.

I agree I'm visually fussy. I love the crisp bright clean look delivered by a good Bluray transfer. Some OPPO-upscaled DVDs are very good, even close to a poor Bluray transfer, but download-compressed = muddy to me (although not to others, and some people just don't care). Those rental places...

DVD Rentals Good Lord where can I rent a DVD? Or preferably Blurays? First to die, a few years ago, was the small 'specialty' movie place near the Music Hall on the Danforth. Then Blockbuster. Then Rogers. Now the one on Broadview just south of the Danforth is shutting down. I cycled up to Pape...

Better for whom? When it is going to be better for the 99.99% of us who aren't homeless, who work our asses off to raise a family in a nice area? I get so fucking tired of tripping over bums, hobos, derelicts and plain old lazy people. Why the hell can't these people be spread around the GTA so...

Twenty-five years ago, when I moved downtown from Highway 7 and Yonge, it was clear to me the most desirable areas to live in the future were going to be right smack in the city, or way the heck out of it. The inner suburbs were a no-no. I was partly right I guess. My reasons were based on...

So where exactly is it written, that all races have to have exactly the same characteristics, the exact same outcomes, despite having evolved separately over hundreds of thousands of years, under different evolutionary pressures? Seriously. Why isn't it more like "wow I'm surprised we ended...

And don't you just LOVE the idiots who have their cruise control set at 115, who pull out to "pass" another car doing 114.9, who then take 5 fucking minutes to complete the pass without once looking in the mirror to see the huge lineup of cars behind them?

The price of the unit is whatever the buyer and seller agree upon. The price per square foot (hey I thought this was a metric country?) is a comparison tool that agents and realtors and prospective buyers and people on forums like this, use as a crude quick-and-dirty measure. I think usually...

There is one highway rule that should be carved into many peoples' foreheads, and were it followed, most problems would be solved. That is: If you are continually being passed on your right, you are in the wrong fucking lane, move your dumb ass over to the right. This applies not only to the...

With the Canadian dollar at par or even slightly higher, and projected to hover in that area for the immediate future, who is going to shoot movies here when they can shoot in Pittsburgh or Boston or yada yada?

Let's see. A huge majority of the taxpayers who are funding those Player Estate homes cannot afford to live there themselves. Instead, the taxpayers have to drive an hour to get to work instead of walking to a subway station 3 minutes away, have to drive to the nearest mall for groceries because...

If the smallest unit is 500 square feet, that's $600 per. Even if the smallest is 600 square feet, that is $500 per. Does that sound reasonable?

The trees are hiding when I visit as well. Central Park, of course, but anywhere else they are difficult to find. Actually the relative paucity of trees is one of the first things I noticed about the city.

There is no 'perhaps' about it. This 'study' is frightfully stupid and lame. The author Chris Goodall is an idiot, and the editor of The Times should be horsewhipped for publishing it. Suppose it takes 5 minutes to drive 3 miles, and an hour to walk it. Goodall compares the CO2 added to the...
