I'm the same, but not all cultures appreciate that. Many families from poorer upbringing but with newer wealth view travelling as a status - see the sites, take all the cliche pics (CN Tower, Niagara Falls) cramming in as much as possible, then go home. Paris has been seeing an influx of Chinese...

There are some references online to a "Don Panini" at that address, no idea on the timeline.

Korea is a hotbed of modern food trends. If they don't evolve or innovate within a year or two, they're done.

Standardize batteries and have swap stations across the city like in Taiwan.

Mostly quiet the past few days, just some drilling and banging from the upper floors, and pillars along Dundas.

A mix of rents costs, and a pivot to focusing on the arts/culture scene that they had been fostering in their place. Unsure what this means for the beer. Part of the problem with one offs is that a lot of the time stock can linger, only selling like hot cakes the first week of release. With...

A handful of breweries have changed hands or even shuttered across Ontario, but mostly outside of the city. Local changes IIRC, Halo was sold to by Bevi Birra (local bottle shop) and Laylow is leaving their location and attempting a popup/event model. Rumour is a number of breweries in the GTA...

Tobacco and lottery is gatekept behind the counter by the cashier. Alcohol is most jurisdictions will be in the fridges with the soft drinks, barring the super fancy/expensive stuff. A lot easier for kids or shoplifters to pilfer. On that note, I was at Bottega Volo today when a field trip...

With Jollibee, one has to get the spicy, the plain is definitely very bland. However the draw for me is they have one of the meatier pieces of fried chicken. EDIT: Personally, with a lot of fried chicken, I skip the sauce they include and douse it in PG Clucks sauce. Popeyes is absolutely...

I believe it's part of a new wastewater system: https://uhnfoundation.ca/stories/uhn-breaks-ground-on-worlds-largest-raw-wastewater-energy-transfer-system/

My card "expires" June 2017, and what looks to be a manufacture date of Sep 2011, so it's likely 10+ years old and still kicking.

I definitely notice the additional delay. It was really bad the first week or two, sometimes I would have to take the card out of my wallet to get it to register. It's better now, just with a bit of extra lag versus the old readers. I have the Secrid Slim Wallet which works perfect for me. I...

No complaints here. I grab an Autoshare once or twice a month for out of town errands.

Speaking of Bellwoods, has there ever been any update on the Dupont location? There was tons of landlord drama which was why the Hafis location came to be, but the last interviews I remember stated the plan wasn't necessarily abandoned, but that was like 2018 or 2019. EDIT: With the expansion...
