Saw a new Indian movie at the Woodside Cinemas in Scarborough. Always glad to be in a city that gets the newest Indian movies.

Had butter chicken curry with naan at Moti Mahal in Little India. I found it scrumptious. Might say that no matter where I went. Moti Mahal opens earlier than some other places, so I went there.

I'm an American visitor. One thing in Toronto that blows my mind is the THOUSANDS of tiny retail businesses. I assume they all have their clientele. But with the giant retailers, it is amazing they can make it. One thing is the leases on the micro-stores must be pretty cheap. I walk up...

Anyone ever go to their shows? For years I watched SCTV in the States. Loved the McKenzie Brothers, Guy Caballero, Lola Heatherton, etc. Time is short for me this trip, so I'm not sure if I'll make it.

Went to Gerrard Street tonight to update myself on the status of things. Looks a little down from 7 years ago. But Udupi Palace (1460 Gerrard Street) was still up and running. Since that' is where I had my first Indian meal in Toronto years ago, I decided to return there. I ordered Sag...

On this visit, I'm noticing stuff that I didn't on three previous trips. One is that I've seen more brick residences here than any place since I was in St Louis back in 1970. The second thing I'm noticing is that houses are REALLY PACKED TOGETHER. Looks like maybe a metre or so between many...

That's right, Toronto. Be happy with what you've got. Or you might wake up one day with Grannie Gangs! :eek:

Tonight I took the right bus up Kingston, and it had the same bike racks with which I'm familiar. So I guess its random. By the way, walking up Yonge Street tonight, I stumbled across a Telus bike location. $5 for a whole day! Wow, that sounds like a great deal. I might do that before this...

This evening I went out in the heat (followed by rain), went to the train depot, recovered my laptop and charger, then walked up Yonge Street to Bloor. The blurb from the tourist bureau says Yonge Street is the longest road in the province. But, I tell ya, just walking from the depot to Bloor...

I rode the #12A bus to Scarborough last night. 9:30pm, very packed, and one of the last to get on was a guy with his bike. Has TTC ever considered external bike racks on its buses? That's how bikers in Minneapolis bus with their bikes. You never see a bike ON the bus. And no hangers in the...

The CTV news had a story about a group of guys wanting around near downtown attacking people. One was near Gerrard and a cross street I've forgotten. Is this somehow related to those housing projects? Is this a strong argument for boarding subways and street cars over walking places? Yeh, I...

Official heat wave. Well, it was hot in Minneapolis, hot in Chicago, hotter still in Toronto. Guess I'll grit my teeth till it blows over. Wonder if elders die here in GTA like they do in Chicago in brutal heat. Saw something that suggested that the rampant flooding everywhere you look is...

CTV claimed it was automotive safety glass that was being required in balcony windows. Who says otherwise?

As I said about looting: "Two U.S. oil companies have won their complaint against Newfoundland and Labrador over spending obligations related to their participation in an offshore oil play. A Canadian trade official confirmed Friday that Canada had lost the case after unofficial reports from a...

What a bunch of suckers. Harper really has a crop to harvest. Well, go ahead, have your "Reagan moment", but don't start crying when you discover later how bad this blindness kept you from seeing how your country is being scammed. We had Reagan and Bush. You all talk so much like their fans...

I'm a global populist. If someone had stuck a knife in the Eaton shooter and he'd died, I would have said "Notch one up for the people of the world. This guy won't sit and gloat how much more protection he got than they had." And if a gang is running a drug operation out of a house, and the...

Yep. There you have it folks. That's the line of reasoning that makes you fair game everywhere to people who have NO law. Don't take the leash off the dogs because, obviously, it is YOU they want to bite! I keep watching these shows about how this or that biker gang is taken down in Canada...

Never mind. I know what this whole thing is about. Corporations on both sides of the border see a looting opportunity. Stephen Harper is there to help them in any way he can. But in democracies, there's always a necessity to misdirect voter attention as the looting commences. So that's when...

"To protect people". Tell that to the parents of the kid with a bullet in his head. Did the law protect people in Eaton Centre? I'd say the shooter is the only one who got protection. The average citizen got bupkus.

No, the Revolutionary War was WWI. England and France were fighting in India at the same time as France was providing support to the 13th colonies at Yorktown in America. By the way, I read some online about Canada and the War of 1812. It got its territory back at the Treaty of Ghent, but the...
