    Pixar's Turning Red - Is this scene at Dundas near Spadina?

    I'm thinking this is supposed to be a fictionalized version of the Dundas Street Chinatown. I say this because it's a Chinatown of course, and earlier in the trailer she's running along some roofs south with the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre off to the left. She is running toward what looks...

    Wexford Plaza, the movie (Dec. 1-7, 2017 Carlton Cinema)

    Wexford Plaza, screening December 1 to 7. Given that this stars a rundown Scarborough strip mall, I'm surprised nobody's posted this yet. A slice-of-life offbeat comedy about Betty, a lonely female security guard working at a deteriorating strip mall. Isolated and friendless, a glimmer of hope...

    Got a plug-in hybrid. What Toronto parking lots have EV spots & charging?

    I just bought a Toyota Prius Plug-in. Where can I park in Toronto and get free charging, and conveniently placed reserved parking spots? I know there are EV chargers at the Distillery District, but I believe that's only for Smart Car EV owners. There is also mention of spots at the Yonge /...

    Scarborough Waterfront Project (?, ?, TRCA)

    I didn't see this mentioned anywhere. I am not sure if this the best sub-forum for this topic, but it seems as good as any. Mods, feel free to move this where you think this is most appropriate. Scarborough Waterfront Project Project Brief (PDF) Toronto and Region Conservation Authority...

    Downtown west dwellers: No more summer stink - Quality Meat Packers is closed

    I used to live near Front and Bathurst and before I moved in, what I didn't know was that periodically there would be strange stinks wafting through the air. I found out later that it was because there was an abbatoir on Tecumseh (west of Bathurst). I assumed it might leave to cheaper and...

    Weirdest house ever?

    Maybe not the weirdest, but likely to have been reno'd without a permit methinks. It's an 1890s Victorian home on Shaw street with an indoor pool. http://www.blogto.com/city/2014/04/house_of_the_week_375_shaw_street/

    I am pleased. Southern Accent just opened a satellite takeout restaurant at Midland and St. Clair, not too far from where I live. http://southernaccent.com (The website doesn't have the new location yet though.) Their main restaurant will close in a couple of years because the leased location...

    AL Premium: Huge new Asian & Middle Eastern grocery store at Eglinton & Warden

    This place recently opened in an old space after the Rona there shut down, on Eglinton just east of Warden. The name is rather uninspiring - A1 Premium - and the only thing I can find about it online is this registration info: https://secure.profilcredit.com/Subjects/Detail.aspx?id=525477...

    Korean restaurants in Toronto

    What are your faves? There are several I like, and one is Chodang Soon Tofu in Etobicoke. If you like Tofu, they make all theirs in-house. Before the main dishes come, they'll serve you complimentary small grilled fish, which is great for me because I love grilled fish. There's also Imonay in...

    How's the weather in your area?

    It's interesting to read the weather report right now (7:15 am 2012-08-10) because it says it's light rain at Pearson. However, in my area, Scarborough Bluffs, it seems like the apocalypse, with a huge tropical-like downpour for the past several hours. My backyard is flooded in spots and so...

    Toronto street food, a new start?

    Street food revolution housed in shipping containers I haven't tried this yet, but I will soon. Let's just hope that the City of Toronto doesn't bureaucratize this to death. The good news is that it seems that it is so far so good in terms of city approval: There’s a street food revolution...

    Short on space? Check out this furniture design video.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dAa6bOWB8qY They have a shop in Toronto. Even though I have a big house, I'm gonna check them out just for kicks. :) Actually I do have an 80 sq. ft. bedroom in the basement. If the pricing were good I'd be able to put a desk in that...

    Broadband internet access in new condo buildings. What's the usual these days?

    How does broadband internet access usually get implemented in new builds these days? I'm not sure if this is accurate, but I seem to recall that the initial descriptions of the Cityplace buildings had Ethernet to all units at 10 Mbps with broadband included. Was that implemented when they...
