Watching the game at the airport heh. It's looking like a good one!

Kuro, you should be a food critic.

Hero burger 10/10

He would end all of his reviews with:

That's not far from the truth.

Tried out XOLA (authentic Mexican) last night, down at the far east end of The Beaches' main strip.

Pretty good food but a bit on the pricier side. I had duck confit tacos (Tacos de Pato) and my GF had some chicken tacos (can't remember name). I say it's a bit on the pricier side since you don't get a lot of food considering the average price of a taco dish is $15-$18. What you do get is good, however. We also got a goat cheese guacamole to start, which was super tasty.

The service was fantastic. A Mexican family owns and operates the place, and they were great at recommendations, explaining what each item was, and so forth. Very friendly service.

I don't know of many Mexican places in TO, but this place will be hard to top, even though it was pricey.

Here's a BlogTO "article" on the place. Bonus reading in the comments.

beaches

Only reason I always use Beaches is because I hate this conversation.

"Want to go to The Beach?"
"Which beach?"
"The Beaches."
"Why didn't you just say that in the first place?"

 

[shadowkat]

It will always be The Beaches to me.

Do you and James have a home there? Maybe we can have a meetup there :0

 

[zroid]

I didn't even know people called it beach

You've missed out on some crazy arguments then.

 

[diaspora]

Kuro's post got me to start sifting through some BlogTO reviews.

GG Reimers probably live in a church and make food for the homeless...

Toronto sports. They started poorly, had a lead and then blew it. Had a chance to win it in the final seconds too...sigh...

This is why I don't follow basketball. I have enough misery in my sports teams without adding another.

 

[zroid]

I can see why NBA-GAF was shut down, some of the guys in that playoff thread are exceeding the Dead Sea's sodium levels.

 

[BigJonsson]

I've been in the dead sea.....it stings open wounds bad

It doesn't help when the NBA actually wants the Raptors to lose.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Jesus, 1 goddamn point. ONE!!!!! I can't deal with this shit.

Dat first game reffin

 

[ZZMitch]

On the bus to Maine now. Saw the final score and watched the highlights. I now have my endured my first let down as a Toronto team fan... feels bad man.

Lowry probably should have passed the ball to DeMar at the end there.

 

[Blackhead]

Toronto has the best fans.

[Azuran]

This loss would have hurt a lot less if they would have gotten a final shot off at least. Then again, watching that Vince Carter miss still hurts like hell.

 

[mdubs]

Repressed memories of last year have been awakened inside of me by today's game Toronto-GAF

 

[Azih]

So sad so very sad.

 

[firehawk12]

Never believe in an MLSE team and you'll never be heartbroken. lol

 

[zroid]

I'm not really that salty about the Raptors... feels like they are only going to get better from here.

...of course that's what people said about the Leafs last year, but I digress...

On the bright side now that the Raptors are out Shanahan can commence the plethora of cannings (Carlyle)

If Lowry doesn't come back I will be really sad. He is so hard working and just an amazing player. Would be a massive loss...

 

[Azih]

This group of Raptors is worthy to be proud of. They made such massive strides and overachieved so much. I just really really wanted a second round so badly.

 

[Lexxism]

Cool

WHERE!?!?

edit: Looked it up Weston and Hwy. 7. So now within 2 blocks of each other we have a Five Guys and a Burger Priest.

 

[BigJonsson]

WHERE!?!?

Weston and 7!

 

[Fuzzy]

Weston and 7!

And their twitter page says opening in mid-June is the one on The Queensway and The East Mall.

Cool I'll definitely check it out next time I'm in the area (which is usually when I'm seeing an IMAX movie)

edit: on that note, what's the next movie I might want to see in IMAX... hmmm...

 

[soultron]

The Beaches for me too. I won't argue it with anyone, it's just what I choose to call it.

 

[yyzjohn]

Weston and 7!

Wasn't there a shooting there just yesterday? I think I heard Weston and 7...in a parking lot. Right outside of a Homesense. Shot dead.

 

[Oppo]

The Beaches for me too. I won't argue it with anyone, it's just what I choose to call it.

yeah.

it's The Beaches.

it's the SkyDome still, too.

 

[zroid]

It still bugs me that Rogers didn't at least call it the Rogers Dome. What the hell was that?

 

[Divvy]

It could just as easily have been the Rogers Skydome, but nooooo, they had to be their typical Rogers dicks.

 

[shadowkat]

yeah.

it's The Beaches.

it's the SkyDome still, too.

I don't think I've ever called it Rogers Centre. It will forever be the SkyDome.

 

[Dyno]

Which reminds me: I'd like to sincerely apologize to Dyno for the ugliness that lead to our bans.

No problem at all. I thought we were having some lively times. Good to see you're back.

 

[added_time]

and added time didn't come and call us nerds this time.

I've seen this mentioned here three times now so I figured I would comment: I was fucking joking! I thought it was obvious! (except for EvilMario. I really do think he is a big nerd but I'm biased since I hate white people)

Obviously, I was including myself as a big nerd since I came to the meetup too!

Anyway, It could be worse, you could be a nerd AND a hipster at the same time like me.


and: Toronto photo of the week? month? fortnight?

 

[krae_man]

I still call Kitchener Berlin

Spoiler

Not really

 

[Roto13]

Look who's come crawling back.

 

[added_time]

Look who's come crawling back.

It won't be very regular like before. I've cut down my internet use greatly which includes GAF.

 

[Blackhead]

I need more sun light

 

[Willectro]

I have found it hard to return to my GAF ways. Seems like Evil Mario has stayed away for a while too.

No problem at all. I thought we were having some lively times. Good to see you're back.

Thank you. And those were indeed lively times. But provincial and municipal elections should get the blood pumping again.

 

[Samyy]

Is it bad that I just don't want to vote for anyone? Everyone seems to be terrible, at a provincial level I mean.

 

[added_time]

I'm watching some drag queen reality show at Pegasus bar on Church. Hey Roto, don't you live right here? Come by!

P.S. gay bar tip for men: use the women's bathroom cuz there is no line

Lol
I thought I made it pretty obvious each time I mentioned it!

Too bad you're not around as much. Hope you got those creative juices back.
