Hahahahaha. That house is ridiculous. Love it.

Does anyone know of a site of vintage Cabbagetown photos?

I usually tip 18-20%. But, I have NO problem not leaving a tip if the service was horrendous. Not my problem if that's how they pay their rent. Work for it. We all do. If we don't perform and meet certain levels at work – no end-of-year bonus or pay raise. That simple.

My friends from England when they first moved here were shocked at tipping and didn't have a clue as to how much or when. "Do we tip at McDonald's?" was a good one. Lol. Even now they still have to ask how much it is. On the flipside, when I visit England, I usually have to remind myself NOT to...

Keep the Barn buidling as it is still salvageable. It really is a pretty building but the paint and jock-strap posters take away from it. Lol. Perhaps, gutting it and revamping it to nice café by day, lounge by night. Full Wi-Fi, etc. The one across the street where that Bulldog coffee place...

It's going to take some time before people warm to it and they (the restaurant) find their groove. Smart that they decided to open during the summer as a beer is a beer and a patio is a patio. Not smart that they weren't fully ready for Pride, though.

I am there every day as I go home through there and I am usually there every weekend. So, yes, I have seen it and it isn't any better in my opinion. The women's third floor looks great, but the men's is the same except for the back part on the 2nd floor which is nice and white — and empty. The...

Is this a joke? "These days, The Bay on Queen Street West looks a lot more like a Holt Renfrew or a Bloomingdales than the tired old retailer it used to be." Hardly! It's still the same stuff. And so far any real renos have been focussed on the women's section. Plus, Holt Renfrew...

Yes, I think the KSP that was across from Eaton Centre where the Champs is now was meant as a temporary location. I remember it being advertised as a holiday location or something odd like that.

The Le Chateau across from HMV just north of Dundas on Yonge is closed (hurrah!) and Kitchen Stuff Plus is going in its place (huh?!) I don't see it lasting. That area is tourists and fashion. What tourist is going to buy kitchen stuff (or plus)? If there were more residences in the area...

If that's his highlight... :eek:

Hudson's Bay Centre? Really? :D The three black monoliths that are TD Centre are (in my opinion) ugly, bland and...well...cheap! I don't care if the architect was some muckamuck of the architect world. It just reaks of late 60s/early 70s laziness — under the guise of 'modernity', 'boldness'...

Pretense and vulgarity are in the eye of the beholder. In my layman opinion, Chorley house was beautiful as were the grounds. If it were still standing it could've been used for events, weddings, movies... Most people aren't educated on the history and design of castles to know that it is a...

I was just there yesterday (4 JUNE 2012) for volunteer day at work (we helped with gardening at a Seniors' community centre on Ward Island). It really is a different world out there. I hadn't been to the Islands since my late teens (I'm 40 now). I have only been to Centre Island once and once...

Awesome. I'm using that, thanks. Lol. Very true. A casino may bring in some tourists (during the summer) but not enough (I don't think) to sacrifice an already developing waterfront neighbourhood that is a result of years of careful research and planning. A casino there would be a rush job and...

Do you honestly think the Queen has any say in the cultural, economical, etc, goings-on of Canada? She doesn't have any power in England let alone Canada. We are masters/mistresses ;o) of our own house. Plus, British, French and of course Aboriginal culture and identity are the cultural heritage...

The only reason I would go into a Sears is to walk through it to get to the rest of Eaton Centre. ;) Maybe if they are having a white sale — but how much linen does one boy need? They can revamp it all they want — it's still just Sears with more room and less stuff.

Does anyone have a photo of the Birks when it was in the Zara location by any chance? I am trying to remember what it looked like but am having trouble remembering.

Lol! I visited an Argos twice whilst I was visiting my friends in London. I remember saying "this is exactly like Consumer's Distributing!" Filling out the form, waiting in line... Flashback.

The CD catalogue (along with my mum's Chatelaine) was always present on our coffee table. Lol. x
