... on another note, would Junctionites freak out if Starbucks moved into the neighbourhood?

My fav Starbucks is on Bloor st W and Ellis (beside High Park entrance), it's really cozy, a great hangout for local runners (from the Running Room across the street) and local parents, everyone is talking to everyone else, the friendliest coffee shop in the village.. and the cleanest :p

Toronto Food Carts; what would you like them to serve? I rarely buy sausages/hot dogs, I can only imagine what undesirable parts of an animal are included in this "food".. I'd like to see grilled veggies (actual chopped veggies like sweet peppers and eggplant) on a bun and veggie sushi...

Your post reminded me of Moscow's little outdoor "cafe's", they're in every major park and are owned by the city, most don't sport any awnings (did I spell that right?). They're used all year round, even in Winter, I remember reading a book and licking my ice cream during a nice light snow...

Is there a certain amount of money you've got to spend per hour at sbux? Do they kick people out if say you spend 2 hours there and buy the cheapest coffee? of'course not! I never thought about Starbucks to this depth, I like it there because they smile at screaming kids and offer...

I get your meaning but I've never met people like that unless they're in their late seventies (then again many old people complain, about everything).. I have quite a few "recent arrival" or "just off the boat" friends, they love Toronto and Canada, they care more about what's happening in the...

That's crazy Urban :) I love Canada and love all the other ethnic varieties (food), Russian is the only food that I don't buy because it's nothing like back home. That's the problem I have with the locals--many Russian immigrants: they aren't curious about trying the vast ethnic food...

It's definitely not the same taste, completely different scent too.. I know all of those bakeries/delis inside and out :) I do buy kvas still, again, nothing like fresh Odessa Kvas :)

The construction is progressing fast :) We were looking at floor plans, not really interesting or creative, a lot of wasted space. Great location though!

wow I actually miss the sanctuary... it's been a decade now.. eh As for Tim's driving out S'bux... don't underestimate the cult following of Starbucks. I'm one of them! ha! I wouldn't touch a Second Cup. Coffee Time? Not a chance I'd even step in there. I do love Tim's food so I'm happy to...

ya, we were looking at minivan options, decided to get a Mazda5 instead, great car for families with more than one kid and uses less fuel. I'm trying to utilise the TTC as much as possible though and I try to walk almost everywhere. How old are your twins? Congrats BTW :) We bought a...

makes sense, thanks

Thanks Chris, exactly what I was looking for :)

http://www.newhomesandcondos.com/modules/magazine/article.asp?AID=3697&MID=4&IDATE=4/17/2006&CMID=4&CIDATE=4/17/2006 Just curious whether anyone here bought a unit there..

I can easily take the subway there from High Park (not accessible either) but I'm also curious about the future of accessible street cars, they were advertised all over TTC ads, so I'm curious about whatever happened to their plans. P.S. I'm sure other parents with more than one kid who...

Thanks for the reply.. I have a double stroller, not something I can fold easily, I can't just take out my newborn, groceries and almost 3 year-old all in my arms all at once and stand while holding on to the folded stroller in a moving vehicle that's packed with people?? Yes, very realistic...

still, i liked it a lot more when the blackout occured a couple of years ago. same here :p

When will they buy the new street cars?

hahaha @ Wata (Vata in Russian) LOL :D I hate the mass produced local bread, really miss the old-fashioned Russian black bread.. There is a wonderful new (1 years-old) organic bakery/coffee house in the Lakeshore Village (Kipling and Lakeshore BLVD W, it's called "Tatsu's", their bread is...

:p
