Didn't we have a Gaffer with an in into Guu? I'd love to try that place out.
They do have food, but it's overpriced. Last time I was there, I dropped ~$85 on a main, 3 beers, and dessert.
Really? Really? Do you have any hobbies? (not being mean but just saying)

So, which ones of you guys were that bunch of furries in front of the Eaton Centre today?
First thing my wife said when we saw them 'oh god, furries are invading'.

Anyone else at work today?
Nope!
And with my new job and it's flex hours I had a day off last week and will have Monday off next week too.
Pacific Mall never closes, literally they're open 365 days per year. Of course, the last couple of times we've gone, it's been more and more underwhelming. The Japanese dishware shop on the second floor in the back is gone too.

Hopefully that new Asian mall...king square or some shit will be better. Pacific needs a make over...no real reason to go there.
but where will people go to buy pirated dvds

I ask because when CP24 was saying what malls were opened, they didn't mention Pacific Mall which I thought was odd. I know they're opened all the time

My apartment is kinda cold this morning... so this Toronto photo of the day was taken a few summers ago (not by me):

Odds are good they're open. Generally days that are required stats mean that only areas designated "tourist" would stay open (i.e. Eaton Centre).

This photo reminded me of how green Toronto and the GTA really is, for a Canadian city. The abundance of big, full deciduous "forests" scattered throughout the GTA almost makes it seem like a tropical environment in the summer with the humidity, and I love that.
When I lived in Halifax the landscapes were mostly dominated by evergreen trees which, IMO, are really ugly. I live in Edmonton now and it's very dry here and more desert-like which leads to hardly any trees at all and the ones we do have are short and spindly or evergreens.
for example, I zoomed into street view in a random area in the GTA
You won't find this much green in my city, and the trees in this picture aren't even as full as some others I've seen. I miss it

+1 for the fan of the green-dom of Toronto. Walking through the Don Valley in summertime = win.
My friends birthday is on the 2nd! I couldn't go on the 2nd!
This would be a much better date for me.
Aye.

You definitely speak the truth!
Here is a photo of where I live (The Annex)
That is pretty fucking green! Especially considering how the Annex is pretty close to the centre of the city.

see that's exactly what I mean! It looks like you live in a tropical rainforest... almost. I've seen some even greener parts that seriously look like a jungle and they're pretty close to down town. When I move back to Toronto hopefully I can live somewhere where it's like that.
I love pacific mall. I should go back sometime and check out the arcade again.

I bought some jeans at pacific mall not long ago, was well worth it. Bargained with the dude running the store, got them at a cheaper prices and no taxes. FTW.

I believe the arcade there has slowly been declining in quality. Mind you I haven't been there in some time either.
I don't think I've been there since 2006/2007 or so.
have they've started the expansion, I heard about it long ago, but haven't heard about it ever since
never mind, Just say the post above me
I say we go to Jacobs & Co. EviLore will pay.

I have a mortal fear of their parking lot, ergo I've never been either.
I live less than 5 minutes down the road and I've never been inside. My oldest brother has asked me to go with him a bunch of times but I always refuse. I just hate malls in general.
Jacobs & Co.? How 'bout Mickey D's? On a serious note, for a bar, The Ballroom by Queen and John (Osgoode station) has $4 domestic pints and margaritas from 5-10 on Thursdays and Fridays. They also have bowling and ping pong. Oh, and last time I was there which was just a few weeks ago they had a 360 + Kinect set up!
edit: We should create an IRC channel or some chat channel where we could all talk about this.
