Especially with Josephson right across the street.

I always use one of their plastic bags with six openings in them; the bottles are well protected from each other. And with "LCBO" written in large white letters on each side of the dark grey bag, I advertise not only a monopoly but also my questionable drinking habits.

I realized those paper bags were useless when I came home from the LCBO only to have my bottle of red wine go right through the bag and smash on the floor. Since then I always bring a sturdy reusable bag.

I experienced such a system at La Tour des Canadiens, a condo building in Montreal right next to the Bell Centre, where I rented an AirBnb back when it was still legal in that area. You would punch in the desired floor on a screen and it would direct you to a specific elevator. Fastest...

I seem to remember another U.S. signature-bread-stick chain that hightailed it out of here long ago.

Elevator ratios are a Building Code (ie provincial) issue I suppose? I sent a letter to Councillor Saxe about this development, for all the good it will do. The MMAH is a client and I never complain to government clients, even about unrelated issues. Anyway, people have to get more vocal about...

As I mentioned before, I lived at Residences of College Park I on the 50th floor for 10 years. Taken together, ROCP's two towers are similar to this new project when it comes to the total number of floors and apartments, but they have a total of 12 elevators. The 6 elevators for 658 apartments...

Nice view of the heritage pit.

I have a great Timberland down-filled coat that is similar to Canada Goose and that I bought for a couple of hundred dollars about 20 years ago. I didn't wear it once last season because it wasn't a winter worthy of the name. (It usually isn't because I'm from Québec City, where they have real...

100% of the average rent according to the CMHC's Rental Market Report is not "affordable" housing. I guess Ford would call it "attainable".

Long article in the Star today.

The number of people who are not going back to pre-pandemic life is underestimated. I haven't set foot in a theatre, cinema or art gallery in four years, and I don't expect to in the immediate future because it would be irrational. My memberships and subscriptions have been cancelled. All that...

Is that really "finished"? Anyway. 85 apartments for rent on Realtor.ca alone, all of them with a similar "kitchen" that is slightly larger than a vintage Easy-Bake oven.

First time I take a look at those towers, and they are incredibly ugly, which makes me miss the (no so beautiful either) Inn on the Park even more (Auberge? :rolleyes:) My first stay there in 1988 led to a series of ruinous, yet very pleasant stays in a bunch of other Four Seasons hotels.

It was perfectly serviceable and seemed to be in good condition. I worked there for a few years the early 1990s.
