Ha, it's sort of like our burger talk. Every couple of months it comes around...
Anyway:
Island Airport expansion, yea or nay?

Yea. Especially if it runs on Coors Light cause gods it ain't for human consumption.
Yeah, BRING IT, KAVEY! >=[
Jays somehow won and are now only 9 games away from .500!
I'm tempted to say yea, but I haven't really looked at the issue closely enough. I would love to be able to fly out west via the island, but maybe rail transit to Pearson could help ease that desire.

great day to be a Jays fan, a thoroughly satisfying win. Sucks to be a puckhead today

I think yay. I've been getting the Porter emails about their "whisper jet" (lol marketing) and while I know they are just trying to stick the knife in re: Air Canada and competing off the island, I am of the opinion that the rarified hippies that live out there may need to relinquish a bit to the millions of people that need to get in and out of town, and take the pressure off Pearson.
But maybe that's just because I like flying out of there. Anyways Boston pulls it off so I don't see the big issue. They're building the big tunnel already so may as well.
We need both the rail link and some quiet jets (as opposed to those prop planes) on the island. The rail link will probably take almost a decade to build.EvilMario said:

Except the Leafs are in the playoffs and the Jays are still 8 or 9 games below .500?
But seriously though great win by the Jays. I am hoping this starts them on a strong run...mostly cause I got some people I need to troll.
Rail Link needs to be ready by the time of the Pan Am games, but it'll cost ya 30 bucks.

I'm all for yay, especially if they can actually deliver all those potential destinations.
Has there been any actual full plan on what they would do (outside of the length of runway that the new jets need?), IIRC it's only got like 4 gates and one luggage carousel, not exactly the capacity to satisfy more than a few landing/takeoffs within the same hour.
"Ugh, it's so niiiiicceee ouuuuuuttt-uh, I wanna go outsiiiiiiiiiideeee-uh, not be stuck in this meeting haaallllll-ugh. This is stuuuupppiiiiddddddd-uh."
He tires to delay motions that he can't win. It's weird. Just take the hit and move on.

i spilled water on my laptop so can evilmario post a photo of the day for today?

i actually sent that photo to a friend the other day. she moved to ottawa but wants to move back to toronto.
I did this a few years ago. I feel for her. I hope she likes Shawarma.
Haha, I had no idea. 'Ottawa Shawarma Capital of the World' is a common search term in Google.
It's a weird phenomenon. If you goto downtown Ottawa and take a random sampling of any three stores. Out of the the three, one will be a shawarma joint and one will be a tattoo parlour.
I think Kave is the only 'maybe' right now, correct?

Does the Wii U version do Gamepad only display yet? I hope someone shows up to your MH meet with that setup.

Yeah, the patch for Off Screen play has been released for a while. But I won't be showing up with that setup.
I went to Messini (Danforth) last night, and although the food is always good, the non-kitchen staff are ignorant. I realize it's not the best job, but a simple please and thank you go a long way. I don't think I'll be returning for a while (not that it matters to them, the place is usually busy), there are too many other good restaurants in the area that actually appreciate the business.
Yup but seems more likely now especially since I'll be at TCAF earlier in the day.
I'll get back to ya later tonight if I can make it.
So my girlfriend and I spent the weekend at the Old Mill Inn since I got a good deal on it and I must say, It's a pretty damn nice place in the city to just get away from the concrete jungle. Comfy as all hell and walking along the humber river this weekend was really great.

You can try Pantheon a bit west of there. Great food and generally above average service.
There is another Messini on Eglinton or something that just opened up so you may want to give that one a try.
I agree though, Messini has great food, but poor interior set up and the waiters suck.
Hey torontogaf
My buddy and I live at home just east of Oshawa and we want to move out and get a place. I work downtown (take the go train presently) and he works in sauga (drives)
We're looking at bathurst/avenue + eg/st clair for locations as our budget is about $1600 combined for a 2 bd room. It seems doable from the few searches we've done. We're thinking maybe a Duplex might be a more unique idea than an apartment where they all start to looking boring after a while.
Any thoughts or ways I should search? I think I have them all covered - viewit, padmapper, solas & myhood. Any ideas on what to look for or what to expect when moving out for the first time would be appreciated too!

$1,600 for a two bedroom is definitely doable. Bathurst and St Clair have cheaper apartments, with prices rising as you move east toward Yonge. And more so as you move north to Yonge and Eglinton. Avenue Road itself has a number of buildings you can check out. Consider the cost of Hydro when looking at an apartment. If you're a heavy user like us, having Hydro included can be a hefty savings and might warrant paying a bit more for the place.
I would look up addresses your interesting in with http://bedbugregistry.com/ . A lot of the 'great deals' in other expensive areas tend to be because they have had bed bug issues reported and have trouble renting out now.
Also take a weekend and walk around the neighbourhoods you're interested in. There are some buildings you won't find on the common sites, but they'll have FOR RENT signs out front. You can find smaller buildings renting out that way too. Look up property management sites as well. ie; Greenwin, Briarlane, etc. You won't always find their most up to date listings on Kijiji and Viewit.
Other than that, all normal rules of apartment hunting apply. Keep an eye out on how the common areas of the building are kept. If they're ill-kept and run down, it might speak to how residents and landlords care for the property. Check appliances in the unit, ask their age if you're paying Hydro (an old fridge could cost you an absurd amount per month), make sure there's no mold under the sinks, etc. If the unit is going to under go a reno before you move in, get in writing what's going to be done (painting, new appliances, replacing bathtub, new flooring, etc) Know your rights too. No building can deny you residence because you have a dog, cat, child, disability, etc, despite the clauses they may want you to sign.

WRT Island Airport - I'm not exactly chomping at the bit for it, but I'm enthused about the ability to fly further and on better planes (not 737s) than the turboprops.
OTOH, I'm told that Waterfront Toronto has gone on record that they will have to change their plans if the runway expansion goes through, as the air-space required to land those planes will impact what they can/can't build.
Forest Hill South is my hood. It's lovely to look at, and the St Clair W corridor is improving month-by-month, but be advised that the residential buildings are mostly very old, and accordingly there will be frequent (usually short) power outages and the plumbing can leave something to be desired. On the flip side, older buildings usually have more square footage per unit, which doesn't seem important until you're two people bumping into each other in a too-small condo. Note: if you're a driver, parking is almost never included in the rent. Many buildings have waitlists for parking spaces, even if they don't have waitlists for tenancies.
If you're able, try to "bump in" to a resident of the building that you like and take a few minutes to see if they're truly happy where they are.
Good luck.

Average.
Lots of variety to choose from, but nothing I had there was that great.
Two locations? Danforth and Beaches?

Yeah. Impressive menu, but sorta average. Although I did like their Kids in the Hall burger.
For Greek/Danforth I tend to like Kalyvia, it's small and you can tell they are really into their thing.
$30 for unlimited sliders is dumb. I can't eat $30 worth of regular-priced sliders, and those fuckers are expensive. PS Slider Revolution on Danforth, also pretty good
