Where on Bayview? There are so many places that have come and gone. that French restaurant just north of the RBC. There was a roadhouse bar a little north of there on the west side, that had an upstairs and all. It was actually pretty good food and atmosphere.

And yet, not one place will ever stand a shot at competing with McSorely's and Originals.

Highway 66. BBQ. I franking loved that place. Surprised it went under. I think I cried that day.

It's now Two Dogs Sports Bar.

At least for the next few days...

Tick.

Tock.

Tick.

Tock.

There's also a Gelato store on Mount Pleasant (much more "traditional"), and of course Baskin Robbins at Millwood and Bayview.

As you know, the rents are so franking high on Bayview that if you don't succeed in the first few months, you are dead in the water.

There's a new sports bar on Bayview - Two Dogs. I've never seen more than 3 people in it. It's a franking sports bar with maybe 3 TVs. If it's still there on Labour Day, I'll eat the cat poop from all of RJ's 12 cats.

Why would anyone look at the neighbourhood and think "yep, definitely needs more gelato"?

Every third storefront in my neighbourhood is now a place to get your nails done.

How much do women pay to get their nails done? How could there possibly be enough demand?

I'm so glad I'm a guy, and I don't have to worry about this crap.

It's truly baffling. Our waterfront in the core SUCKS. Lots of prime retail space and from Spadina to Yonge all you get is a Shoppers, dry cleaners, nail places and some bland ass restaurants. It's such a waste.

oh that's the location eh? I liked them too.

If I weren't halfway across the city (High Park now), I would check it out.

Man there was that one shift where they tried making a 3 foot pass like dozen times to attempt a breakout and turned the puck over just as many times.

At some point you just gotta flick it out to centre.

buddy needs to spend the summer in his parents basement practicing quick short passes

Used to be worse. 20 years ago when I lived there you'd be waiting 15 mins trying to turn onto Yonge from Lakeshore missing multiple green lights due to all the windshield washers climbing over the cars in front of you. All the while worried the Gardner Expressway would fall on your head. Is that still the case?

Columbus is absolutely destroying Tampa Bay on special teams. The Blue Jackets are killing penalties at 100% and scoring on PP at 50%. Amazing numbers. Lightning are at 0% on the PP, just 50% on PK.


Go read the comments - people rip him a new one for giving the obvious Lightning stats afterwards.

Hey Steve you ever hear the term inverse before??? Look it up!

It's actually making a bit of a resurgence for some reason. I'm in a bit of degenerate laden neighbourhood but I've seen it in a few spots around downtown.

Simmons is a special kind of stupid.

You kept saying I was HOHO, so why the question, Max?

Max is stupid.
It's not his fault.

yeah well, my youngest son is 17 next week - I'm getting there too...

Wait, you're one of the older guys?


I always thought from your posts that you were one of the millennial dirtbags like myself, Ahjay and the Gull

What's even more baffling is that these businesses can survive on a clientele that's only women when leftists keep insisting women only make 77% of what men make, and who live in one of the most expensive cities in North America

Nah, bro. Global warming's taken a back seat and now Toronto's too cold for homeless people to survive.

Damn! You've got good taste!

Arkells would be perfect. Either Knocking at the door, or Relentless would set the mood imo. The others are all good options too though.

More accurate to just call it climate change. Keep dumb people from getting as confused when there are actually record droughts in one place and then record lows in temperature in other places.

Simmons is a special kind of stupid.

Give him a break. Maff is hard.

GTFO? Don't think I've heard of them. I'll go search on youtube!









Well, I searched youtube.

Most of those places are fronts for laundering money.

This is actually a very good theory. Kinda like that story down in the states of mattress stores being across the street from eachother and yet always empty.
