As previously noted, both Second Cup and Timothy's have Canadian origins. Though Timothy's has been bought out now by I think a French company (French company bought out ThreeCaf Brands which owned Timothy's, mmmuffins and Michel's Baguette). Timothy's roasting plant used to be on Steeprock...

Sorry, I obviously don't come on that often... but is the colour still being worked on? The fine grey print is incredibly hard on the eyes to read with this bright white background.

Good question... loft conversions on the way?

When did UT get taken over by real estate agents? That's mainly all I see now with the new layout.

Typically, you'll get brick inside houses up until 1930, but not in all houses. You can simply seal the brick with a jug of sealer you can pickup at Home Despot. This will stop any crumbling / dusting of the brick due to its exposure to air. Had crumbly brick in my old loft (1920's factory...

This is pretty much my understanding of how the area is more viet as well. Many of the "Viet" people are boat people and do speak fluent Cantonese, as well as Vietnamese.

Ha, I had no idea! The more I think about it.. the more I have to agree with TrickyRicky above, Chinatown does seem to be rebounding and is no longer in utter-decline.

Forgive my ignorance of Shanghaiese food, I don't really know what that is. Would none of the dumpling places sort of fall into that category? There have been at least two new dumpling places along Dundas. I treat Asian Legend as yet another chain (which I believe it is), kinda like Tea Shop...

Maybe you're perfect...

Many old restaurants seem to be quickly replaced with new restaurants (Dim Sum King, Asian Legend, some Korean places..), and the main 4 grocery stores are usually quite busy. There are only two grocery stores that I can remember closing, both were smaller ones. One of which has now been...

Chinatown Centre is a bit sad now. I remember when it was pretty, shiny and new, well tenanted. Dragon City also suffered a decline but has held on a bit better. Honestly, I don't want this to be a "perfect development grounds to realize a completely new vision of the neighborhood". This should...

The Spadina streetcar line was definitely brick in the 1980's.

Likely a valve related to the Albion Sanitary Trunk Sewer. 750 mm diameter, constructed in 1960's. Soon to be abandoned. http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=902ac06923beb410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD

I believe the use of "old chinatown" may have been an adaptation of what Cantonese speakers call Spadina-Dundas Chinatown: "Gow Tong Yung Guy". Literally Old Tong (Chinese) People Street. Not many are even aware of the original Elizabeth Street Chinatown anymore. It's probably referred to as...

But he wasn't only him.. he had the backing of the mayor, and by extension, theoretically the police right?

Super-bump! 2.5 years later... There were numerous Robinson's. One was located at Pen Centre in St. Catharines. It is now The Bay. I don't think it's there anymore / open to the public, but this Bay used to have a lower floor irc. There was also a Right House in St. Catharines at Fairview...

Not my choice for mayor but at least now the adults can get back to work.

From all available evidence thus far, this "man" is not a father. He is an irresponsible drunk who doesn't deserve to have a family and deserves to die lonely in the gutter. His children deserve a real father who doesn't stay out late hanging with drug dealers, drinking and doing crack cocaine...

Oh man, f-the fake well wishing and speedy recovery BS...I'm just gonna say what the majority of you are thinking... just die you POS.
