I've seen them slammed on Yelp too: http://www.yelp.ca/biz/mobilia-mississauga Mobilia, are you paying attention?

Anytime I see those horrific slaughter house videos it actually makes me more hungry for meat. I'm quite impervious.

Guy gets on a subway with a bag of McDonald's food. Some blind Muslim guy gets on and decides he's hungry and starts grabbing for the guy's bag of food. The guy with the bag of food kind of doesn't want him to take his food so he pulls the bag out of the blind guy's grabby hands. The blind guy...

Ha. My poor nephew was up in Toronto visiting me. He's from Windsor and basically you talk to anyone in the street that talks to you. They cornered him. Offered him the book. Mighty friendly, he thought. Then they asked him for money. "Sorry, I don't have any spare change." "Do you have $20?"...

So basically I'm seeing from those pictures new tile and the escalators will be covered in glowing white plastic. Great. I'm pumped.

If I want to eat, I just go over to the AMC Dundas 24 building and use their food court. It's always half empty.

Uniqlo had great clothes in Korea but even their XL size was kind of like a largish medium in North America.

In the USA, public transit ridership reached its highest level in 52 years: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/08/AR2009030801960.html?hpid=moreheadlines According to the article the motivation is exactly what I hypothesized: its about saving money. For my own part...

My qualifier was "if possible". The economy the last year didn't really encourage people to make major purchases like a car. Transit systems all around the world I think have been experiencing increased ridership. The explanatory factor might not be improved bus service. It might be the crashed...

The Seoul system instituted a stored value card called the Tmoney card. It has transformed into a stored value debit card system people can use to make purchases beyond subway. You can use it for phone calls, cabs, at convenience stores, vending machines, etc. It's an interesting idea for...

But that's just it. People don't like the bus and will choose a car over the bus if possible.

In Korea/Japan there's these two chains called Muji and Loft. Both seem like small footprint Ikeas. Pretty cool places.

Check out Kensington Market as well. Most guys hate clothes shopping with their GF but I love it. You get to go in a lot of stores you never have business in and sometimes the sale women are dressed totally hot!

I've seen so many transit plans for Toronto vanish in the 11th hour I would take with a grain of salt any candidate's plan. It's a nice fantasy but LRT/Subway expansion beyond putting something else on Sheppard east proves to be so much fantasy over the last 20 years.

I used to like Price Chopper but the ones I've gone to have stopped selling a few products I like (for example rubicon tetrapacks of mango/guava juice).

Bottom floor of the Eaton Centre redevelopment? I noticed just north of the food court (the one under Sears) all the retailers have moved or are moving. Some kind of redevelopment about to go on in that area?

If he's missing all 4 limbs, that is a pretty accurate description of him. But then I'd imagine any torso guy sitting on the street all day would match that description. He'd have to be 50+ by now. He looked 30 in, say, 1992.

Back in the early 1990s, along Yonge just south of College (where they're building those new Aura condos), there used to be a guy with no arms or legs. He was pretty much a torso + a head and he'd sit behind a change bowl and say hi to people passing by. Pretty much no one I talk to ever...

I follow the sales: zellers, shoppers, etc and if something goes on sale, I buy in bulk. Costco is probably good for the working family that doesn't have time. But I find whatever I save at Costco I spend doulbe on too hard to pass up prepared foods I don't see in regular grocery stores.

If the things are clean, I would be okay with paying 25 cents. It can get pretty busy down there during summer and (clean) washroom facilities are hard to find.
