    Game over for Funland Arcade

    They are auctioning them off. The cabinets are fairly expensive when new or refurbished. It'll be interesting to see how much these ones will go for though.

    State of the big chain grocery stores

    Obviously, Conrad Black never shopped at this Dominion. It has the worst layout of any grocery store that I've ever been to. Hopefully, the reno will address this.

    Yonge and Eligible

    Mt. Pleasant is changing rapidly. A lot of interesting pastry shops and restaurants have opened up on the street just recently.

    The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

    I had lunch yesterday at milestone's patio just to see what the place was like. The restaurant was practically empty although the patio was full (we got the last table on the patio). Food is what you would expect from places like this. There are definitely better and worse places to eat in...

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    I think Porter's NYC service wil be a huge success and the number of leisure travellers taking advantage of the service will really good. I've flown with Porter to Montreal and Ottawa a number of times and it makes you feel like you have been treated like cattle all these years by Air Canada in...

    State of Snow Clearing in Toronto for Non-Motorists

    I think we need to give the City a break here. The amount of snow we've had recently is pretty unusual and I don't think we can expect the City to have the streets in a spotless condition immediately after the snow stops falling. I remember Montreal winters where there were massive snow banks...

    Rail: Ontario-Quebec High Speed Rail Study

    While I like the idea of a HSR link, I just don't think that it will attract a lot of people who are now making the trip by either driving or flying. I do the Toronto - Montreal trip a handful of times each year. When traveling with my family, time is not a consideration so driving makes...

    Toronto Centre Federal By-election (cancelled)

    That's a fair point. However, Flaherty didn't seem to do anything when the ship started sinking. As I recall, the Conservatives were campaigning for further tax cuts.

    The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

    The fans really need to go. Can anyone say that those things are better than advertising? Also, they need some ads to cover all that HVAC equipment up on the roof. I find the mess up on the roof really distracting.

    New GIGANTIC Blue Bins

    I'm glad to hear about the overflow bags. I can see a number of scenarios when you may have a lot more recyclying than normal - after a move, after a large party, after a purchase of a home theatre system. . . I just bought a box of blue recycling bags last month which I am hoping I can...

    Toronto Centre Federal By-election (cancelled)

    It was his policies that led to the provincial deficit, which led to the Liberal health premium. . .

    John Godfrey leaving politics

    Recently read that Sarmite Bulte and Deborah Coyne are interested in running for the Liberals in DVW.

    Unhappy Ontario PCs push to oust Tory

    Tory may be a nice guy - I don't know. However, it seems pretty clear that the man has awful political instincts and terrible judgement. If the faith-based schools wasn't enough. . . This is the guy who made Chretien's facial disability an issue in Kim Campbell's campaign for prime...

    Toronto Centre Federal By-election (cancelled)

    Unfortunately, Harper's finance minister is the populist. Why Flaherty was given the position is beyond me.

    Moss Park / Queen & Sherbourne

    In my view, this area has gotten a lot better. I remember walking through Queen and Sherbourne almost ten years ago fairly regularly and it was a lot worse than it is now.

    The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

    Unbelievable. . . Well, I guess it's not that unbelievable given the city's decision making abilities. . . It's just sad. . .

    New GIGANTIC Blue Bins

    It looks like the city will give you a large bin unless you tell them that you want the medium or the extra large instead. I expect to see a lot of these blue bins in front lawns especially in the older parts of town where there's no where you can discretely store them and still hope to recycle...

    Why is the west side of the building devoid of ads? Surely PenEquity could market the space.

    The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

    My memory isn't as good as it once was, but didn't Hume express a fairly optimistic view of how TLS would help in transforming the intersection? Make it a shining example of urbanity? The way I see it is that the article simply expresses his disappointment with the project for not really...

    Toronto Centre Federal By-election (cancelled)

    I would not be surprised if we go into a deficit situation. Most of the people running the federal government now are the same people who were running the Ontario government five years ago.
