Anyone here from Hamilton?
Thinking of moving/buying a house there sooner rather than later and trying to figure out the best "up and coming" neighborhoods. St. James North is where we're looking but we could be convinced to move a bit father east.
I've lived in Parkdale/Bloordale in Toronto for most of the last 10 years or so I don't mind sketchiness as long as there's some redeeming qualities and potential.

Sounds great, thanks guys
I live in Mississauga so yeah, the trip to work and back is about 3 hours. Used to be even longer at my old job (which was in Woodbridge). Tried to find work closer to home but no luck so will do the opposite, very tired of this traveling.
And no hehe, not interest in a basement, just apartments.
Came to Toronto from Hamilton (lived in Hamilton for 5ish years) last summer. Close to the university and downtown are fairly safe areas if that's what you're concerned about.
So The Star is going to post a full article about this? Doolittle and Donovan will claim to have met the pimp?
where does it mention the star? or doolittle? or donovan?
It doesn't. It's an anonymous "reliable" source, which is something The Star loves to use, specifically when Ford is involved.
Haha, yea that wouldn't go over too well.
Hah. Just stopped in there over the long weekend. Really good, I agree.
Hamilton has tonnes of redeeming stuff. James St Art Crawl, Princess Point, etc.

Yup, we're going to buffalo for shopping or some crap, but honestly I'm mostly just looking forward to coming back and eating there.

Does anyone know an affordable and efficient transportation from Union Station to Pearson Airport?
I guess a Go Bus?
I'm having difficulty finding something solid searching on Google.

When do you need to go? Soon? or 2015?
If it's the former, probably taking the subway and taking the 192 Airport rocket from there.

Hmm, the subway to which station? Downsview? (sorry haven't rode the subway in years) And how much would this all cost ($3.00 for TTC) and whatever the Airport Rocket fee is?
Yeah I need to fly out this Saturday, can't wait for the Metrolinx Union to Pearson Express 2015.
You can take the Subway to Lawrence West, then TTC 58A to Pearson:

Your other option is the Subway to Kippling Station, then the Airport Rocket Divvy suggested.
Oh sorry, Kipling station

Hey Toronto Gaf! Quick question if I may. Me and my wife are on honeymoon in Toronto at the moment over from the UK and we are going to see a show at the Virgin Mod Club tomorrow night. Whats the subway like post 10.30 (which I presume is kick out time) for safe passage back to the centre of downtown where we are staying?
I'm not too worried as I use the tube a lot in London when there but I think she will be a bit uncomfortable if were sat in a car on our own like its a scene from The Warriors or something.
As an aside what a fantastically diverse and amazing city you guys have. Were really enjoying our time here so far.

Subways run till 12:30, so you should be good. And since you're at college st, the streetcars should all run ~24 hours within that area to the core.
Congrats on the marriage! Glad you're having fun here!
The subway here is really safe relative to a lot of cities, even late at night. I've never heard of anybody getting hassled here at an hour that I can think of.

If you can survive the tube you should have no problem here

I'm shocked you're on Honeymoon in Toronto. Being from here I never picture it as a vacation destination. Glad to hear you're enjoying it.
Because of the deliciousness or for another reason?
I live in the area. Been to all the good restaurants, so the crowds are just annoying. I don't even think it's a good way to experience the restaurants anyway.

Were going to Niagra on the lake and a few days in the falls and North Ontario so its not just Toronto but were not really the type of people to sit on a beach for two weeks so being here gives us some good options for exploring.
It was also really well priced. My wifes a teacher which means we can only travel during school holidays which is a notoriously expensive time to travel back home.
Thanks for the advice on the subway folks we will just jump back on after the show.
I Ain't even Toronto GAF.
Sounds good, depending on where in the city. As long as it's not like in etobicoke or something, I should be good.
Would be okay with it. Then another the same week at FanExpo!
It's getting out of hand now. They need to nail this guy for drugs and get city hall back in normal mode.
It gets worse and worse every year too. I remember when it first started it wasn't nearly as crowded as it gets nowadays. There's no way I'd go down to the Danforth during this weekend, waste of time. I feel for the locals there.
Fan Expo Floor Plan:

Hopefully this means PS3's and Watch Dogs playable.

I don't mind crowds if its a decent event (CNE for example). But I can't figure out why people go to Taste of the Danforth. If you want to check out the restaurants, it's the worst weekend of the year to do so. People just seem to wander around and line up for food. Other than advertising the area, the whole thing seems pointless.

Yah do the subway to Lawrence west then 58A which takes you directly into terminal 1. Other option is GO train to Malton station and then your basically right in front of the airport. You can catch the 58 if you cross the street onto airport road from there as well I believe. Lawrence subway route is probably easier albeit a little less comfortable than a Go train maybe.
You don't know what an anonymous source actually is, do you?
I just dislike it, but I'm aware it is a necessary evil for journalism to exist.
