    Withdrawn Library Books

    Aside from the two Book Ends stores, and City Hall, Lillian H. Smith, and Fairview branches, where can I buy withdrawn library books?

    FOUND - TTC Pass

    Don't feel bad, I've been using the shit out of this poor soul's pass; it's very handy. I've posted notices on both Kijiji and Craig's List, looked in the phone book and 411 - no dice. Looking on Facebook is a good idea and the one thing I hadn't thought of - but while there are people...

    FOUND - TTC Pass

    Hey guys, not sure where to post this, but I found a TTC Pass Tuesday night - if any of you have lost one and can tell me the name on the back and where it was lost it's yours.

    Where Do You Go To Get Your Hair Styled?

    I've never been one to be too concerned with appearances, so the occasional trip to Magicuts has always sufficed for me, but it's frustrating because I can never articulate what I want. (Really, all I want is for it to be short, but that's never good enough for them). So I'm looking for a...

    Any French/Quebecois Communities in T.O.?

    Some friends of mine from Quebec will be exhibiting their anthology and other work at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival in May. Since their work is in French, I doubt many festival goers will be interested. To make the weekend less potentially miserable for them, I had the idea to post a flyer...

    Haunted Houses

    That's also where Glen Stewart park is, right? (I've never been in this area before, I just looked it up on Mapquest).

    Haunted Houses

    I'm sure we're all familiar with the cliche of the haunted house, often seen in cartoons when the main characters have inherited a haunted house conditional on their spending one night in it, and which often sits atop a narrow and jagged hill. Are there any places in Toronto that remind you...

    How would you change Ontario's high school curriculum?

    I think the topic of this thread is a very good question, but one, given the complexity of education, takes a lot of thought to answer. I think it would take years to determine how to best reform the educational system. Still, unqualified as I may be, I'll provide a brief opinion. I once...

    Wrecking balls in the city.

    Hey, So I'm sure you all remember me asking for your help with a series of comic stories I'm setting in Toronto. The first story is almost done so it will soon be time to move on to number two. This time, our intrepid hero will have to fight a gelatinous monster, and at one point, said...

    Great Films! Comment or Suggest Some....

    Akira - Greatest movie of all time. Grave of the Fireflies - Excellent film about two orphans struggling to survive during World War II. Princess Mononoke - Compelling film with a great (but not heavy handed) message. Fistful of Dollars For A Few Dollars More The Good, The Bad, &...

    Questions about potential locales for a series of comic stories.

    So hey, good news. I think I found the rightmost building from the reference photo yesterday, if I'm right, it's address is 40 Gerrard St E, which places it right across the street from Ryerson's Theatre building, and a campus park, which I thought would be a good place for the robot to start...

    Doors Open 2009 - May 23 & 24

    I'm at another event and am going to miss out on this, so I'm looking forward to all your photos.

    Questions about potential locales for a series of comic stories.

    I'm not at all worried about having a kid attend a University, in addition to the camps you mentioned, I'm certain a child exhibiting a high enough level of intelligence and academic achievement could go to University early. Our juvenile mad scientist would certainly be able to do so. What I...

    Questions about potential locales for a series of comic stories.

    It will either be U of T or Ryerson. I have to figure out where the robot is. (As it's location on the first page determines its point of origin). My collaborator used a shot of downtown seen from a distance as a reference photo for the background, so I don't know where the robot is...

    Questions about potential locales for a series of comic stories.

    Didn't have to push this story back, after all. Here's the (unlettered) first page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/38269330@N05/3523733462/ I told my collaborator that although I thought Front and Bay would be best, it could be set anywhere downtown as long as it looked accurate and we...

    Questions about potential locales for a series of comic stories.

    I think both of those places are too far away, unfortunately. But do not worry, it was always my intention to show you all the pages once they're done. I'm very grateful to all of you for taking the time to share your knowledge and help me represent the city we all love so much. Although...

    Questions about potential locales for a series of comic stories.

    But it's also west of Bay, meaning you would have to head east to get there. But UTS may be too far north, even for a giant robot.

    Questions about potential locales for a series of comic stories.

    I would prefer to use a building of the latter type. Another problem with Ryerson is that Bay is west of Yonge, meaning the Robot would be facing the CN Tower as he approached Front and Bay, which means it couldn't be in the background. If he goes from College and University, he could...

    Questions about potential locales for a series of comic stories.

    For a human, yes. A giant robot probably wouldn't take as long. Another option I'm considering is having the mad scientist attend U of T (his incredible intellectual prowess would allow him to attend University at an earlier age than most) then the robot could cut a swath of destruction...
