    Snacks: Rare finds, old favourites, flavours needed!

    As for Salt and Vinegar, the Miss Vickies ones are definitely the top of the heap, followed by the Ruffles ones (which you can't always get), then the Old Dutch ones. Lays normal salt and vinegar are good, but not nearly as good as the others I mentioned.

    Snacks: Rare finds, old favourites, flavours needed!

    But Ruffles All Dressed are miles better than Miss Vickies All Dressed Up. Lays has been selling a non-ruffled All Dressed, and it's a shadow of the real thing.

    Ruffles All Dressed are probably my favourite "every day" chip flavour. The Lays ones just don't have enough flavouring powder on them to compete.

    Snacks: Rare finds, old favourites, flavours needed!

    They just tasted kind of vaguely "meaty" with a mostly sweet flavour on top of that for the Brazil one, and not much else for the Texas one. I got them from a convenience store on Bloor between Dufferin and Dovercourt. I think right across from the big church.

    Snacks: Rare finds, old favourites, flavours needed!

    Holidays have kept me busy. I don't think I've been off work for so long since I took parental leave a few years ago! I haven't really been posting in any of the threads for a few weeks now. But I did try both of these. Neither are anything worth writing home about. I have a bag of the Miss...

    They do that on King St every few months.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    The button should be disabled as soon as the doors start to close. Someone outside the vehicle shouldn't be able to stop the doors closing by pushing a button. The driver can re-enable it if they're waiting at a red light and there are people who'd like to get on. It could result in more people...

    I've seen automatic bollards in places across Western Europe, including France, Italy and Spain. I guess not Germany, because you'd think they could come up with a system better than one that has to be manually operated every minute with a hand crane.

    Other than the beef and octopus tartare. That was something that was totally delicious, and completely unique in Toronto.

    St Lawrence Market

    I wonder if they'll take over a chunk of the SW corner of the downstairs and have a patio spilling out onto Market St. That would be great.

    Restaurant Comings & Goings

    I finally got around to trying this octopus and beef tartare tonight and it was everything I hoped for. One of the best things I’ve eaten in Toronto in the last few years. The rest of the menu wasn’t that great, though.

    It was eastbound I assume it's people making their way up from Lakeshore/Gardiner who want to continue east on Bloor or Dupont and are trying to get off of the busy part of Dundas.

    There are quite a few comments above in the thread about the pain of dealing with taxis at Union Station. Last time I did it, I vowed never to take another taxi, and I haven't since.

    I was at College and Lansdowne today and watched a streetcar, in rush hour, miss two lights because of cars in front of it turning left. How can that be allowed?

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    I was waiting for a WB streetcar at King and Church recently. The car that was coming left the Jarvis stop while the light at Church was green. As it approached, the countdown started. Of course, it slowed to a crawl and stopped before going through the intersection. Even though the light had...

    My parents are visiting from Ottawa by train this morning. They had to walk to Osgoode, and enjoyed an empty train because there's no service at Union. Then they got to St. George and enjoyed an empty train because there was no service east of St. George. Nice for them, but would be nicer if the...

    RapidTO: Master Thread

    As noted, they are probably just parking somewhere slightly further away where they aren't blocking a busy artery. It's not like there's a shortage of parking in this city.

    They did this at Broadview today, in both directions. Trains slowed to a crawl and crept along the platform. I only saw it once (because we got on the train) but saw it in both directions.
