St Lawrence Market

[khris]

I don't know anywhere that's super "cheap" that I would visit in the area, but here are a few reasonable suggestions:

- A great new spot that's been open for a few months is the AAA Bar (http://tripleabar.ca/) on the north side of Adelaide just before Jarvis. They do Texas-style food aka ribs, fried chicken & waffles, brisket, etc. and they have a decent selection of beers on tap and in bottles/cans. It's within walking distance of the ACC, if you get there fairly soon after they open at 5 you should be okay to make the game.

Highly recommend Triple A Bar. Soooo good!

All that has to be done is clean up the park and keep it that way, make it a Dog Free Zone, (if yu know what I am referencing) and last but not least, where the

present blend of grass does not survive, re-seed with those areas with one that does.

That's great news! That section of Front St. is awful.

What exactly is happening here ?

The tender call was online a few months ago and it is for repairs to the plumbing, concrete, brickwork and what appears to be a complete overhaul of the electrics. The Market will remain fully open throughout. The Bid Committee Report has far less detail but is at: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2013/bd/bgrd/backgroundfile-59792.pdf

The St Lawrence area along The Esplanade used to be filled with railway tracks and what are probably the very last of them are currently being removed from the junction of Market and Wilton Streets.

Photo of said track removal - you can even see the wooden ties!

I'm not sure if they're going to remove the ones stretching across Market St or not.

Just saw a sign for a Subway restaurant location is going in at 222 The Esplanade on the south side near the Coffee Time. Not exactly exciting news, but I figure this is the right thread to post it in.

Another one? Or has one moved?

There was one on the south side of King between Sherbourne and Princess, and another on the north side of Front between George and Frederick, both about 400 metres away.

I'm not sure I see the demand.

Yeah it doesn't seem to make sense to have 3 so close together. I'm not sure if one of them are moving or if its an additional location. The sign just went up this week and construction is just getting underway.

I gave up on "Subway" a long time ago, for reason(s) I will not elaborate on; Mr Submarine continues as my all-time "Sub" favourite.
