They have to get there first.

Yes! Two major ones off the top of my head: Duke of Gloucester - Yonge & Charles (just south of Bloor) Scallywags - Yonge & St. Clair You can check out the U-Sector forum to learn more about the thriving football scene here as well.

Well I have to admit I do find what you write difficult to read, so I skim and skip mostly.

So you're saying we should plan all our multi-billion dollar infrastructure simply by eyeballing it?

Ok, so they're still going to spend $40 million, but over four years. Honestly, all it really needs is a bigger skating rink for the winter. Otherwise the square could be nicer, but it's not so bad and the summer programming seems to attract more people every year.

Mississauga hasn't come together because the focal point of the greater urban area it's part of is downtown. We'll be better off once we finally accept this collectively and cast aside our counterproductive pretensions to independence.

The Economist had an excellent article on this very topic a month ago that similarly concludes:

Metrolinx may not have referenced the DRL had it not been for the work of those mentioned above, plus there was a UT letter writing campaign a year or two ago as well, not to mention years of ongoing discussion here. So I wouldn't underestimate the grassroots contribution given how small the...

I had the urge to quote these for the sheer amount of succinct truth in them. A bit disheartening, but beautiful nonetheless and cause for optimism. We really are just starting to grow out of our awkward adolescence.

When that day comes, I'll go to Davisville on my Presto card and dance in their lobby.

Hopefully this'll be nothing like GO Transit's e-news, which notifies you of a stalled train about an hour after being stuck behind it all night.

No problem! I figure since I have a front row seat, UT should have one too. Can't post popcorn yet unfortunately, but at this rate we probably won't need it for a while.

This is like the lead singer of a band taking all the credit for the collective and inseparable contributions of the whole.

This is Toronto. Looks like one big city to me.
