    Urban planning at Waterloo

    Hi guys, since this forum is filled with people experienced in urban affairs, I just want to explain my situation. Two years ago I entered the math program at Waterloo, but my mind was simply not there. In my spare time when there was absolutely nothing to do I went to the Environment...

    Your TTC/transit horror stories...

    Sorry guys, I need somewhere to rant. But it's quite serious stuff. Right now I live in North York by the Peanut. An hour ago I was taking the subway home from downtown. This required taking the Yonge and then Sheppard subways to Don Mills, and then the 25 bus north. For no apparent reason...

    Anyone got funny PMs?

    On Sunday I got a PM from someone I don't know, and had a strange message I have no idea what it means. It goes like this: It looks like a spambot, but it's funny that the account didn't refer to me as my full user name ("Urbanfan" vs. "urbanfan89"). So I don't know what's going on here...
