Seems to me they said they were going to but last time I was there it still wasn't up--was probably a year or two ago though yeah, it ain't much to look at TBF, it's up on the top of a building off yonge and dundas sq. surrounded by giant led billboards  it's about a dozen stories up so it has no presence any more.

Good lord you guys are useless. There are tons of great places to eat, you could have walked to dozens of them if you had gone five whole minutes outside of the south core tourist trap in pretty much any direction.

Like, holy gently caress have you never traveled anywhere? Hmm... I'm surrounded by chain restaurants and everything is expensive as poo poo and not one single person I've seen is from here. Man, this city must suck. It's clearly nothing but hotels and Airbnbs

goddamn idiots leave the suburbs for the first time ever and can't quite wrap their heads around the concept of "neighbourhoods" or something. what do you mean not every single thing the city has to offer is directly in front of me in this one block i am currently on? there's more of it?

I'm visiting Toronto for the first time this summer so if you're okay with waiting a while, I will have the final word on whether Toronto is good or not by the fourth week of June

There's a great little neighborhood at the north end of Toronto, good food and culture, they call it 'Barrie'.

lol i stayed in a lovely condo downtown and couldn't find good places to eat that's like going to chicago, staying in the loop, and complaining that everything closed at 5 pm if you walked for like 15 minutes or took a subway two stops you could have eaten somewhere other than wahlburgers

Would recommend.

Reality Winter posted:It's way too early to be seeing election ads godddamnit In Alberta we're seeing ads attacking the NDP from third party and an election hasn't even been called. I don't understand how that's even remotely legal. We're getting close to an endless election cycle of corporations are people, money is speech, and unlimited money superPACs. Especially considering that it has already leaked that Kenney is exchanging promises of future political favors for the advertising.

Bilirubin posted:There is a point to be made that Young St and Queen St are pale shadows of what they once were. OTOH its much harder to buy crack out King West, which isn't terrible. I dunno I took my mom and sister for roti at Ghandis not too long ago and had to explain to them why the man sitting on the street corner with a half a coke can up to his face was emitting such a terrible smell. I'm sure we could've copped if we wanted to.

lmao. jfc. open google maps or something. god drat. you could have walked 5 minutes north and found a wealth of restaurants. the city is a grid and there's a 24 hour public transit system. there are also cabs and everyone (mostly) speaks english. i don't know how the gently caress you could possibly get stranded. the area you stayed in is new-construction condos and a little village made for the suburban tourists who visit for a concert or a hockey game. it sucks because it's made specifically for the kind of people too scared to venture beyond the end of the block. until 10 years ago it was nothing but parking lots, so yes, it lacks the character and diversity of literally any part of the city you could have ventured to. infernal machines has issued a correction as of 18:43 on Feb 16, 2019 |
