Odd. Never had them refuse debit or credit after they made a big show of accepting it.
Every station is supposed to have it by the end of the year.
Man, I loves Super NES Clayfighters as a kid. But like 90% of the games and cartoons from my childhood, I recognize it's trash.
Before you did, and it was something you had to claim on your taxes
Now it's pre-taxed... so in a $60 million win is actually closer to being a $120 million jackpot in reality (if you were to compare with old super 7 and powerball)
*gets ready to change calendar entry from April 23rd* BRING IT BACK
So somebody got shot and killed at Bloor-Yonge over an "argument".

yay, it's in my calendar
Awesome, I can make it then =D
And they're actually installing a Presto entrance right now at my station (Sherbourne) which made me think that I need to get going on getting a Presto soon. But it is pretty useless since I hardly travel outside Toronto.

Welp. 355k 1BR in Emerald Park North York. Bye bye money.
I feel like I overpaid a bit but I really couldn't think of another building I would have lived in except maybe Hullmark across the street. Didn't want to rent anymore and definitely did not want to buy to live downtown for the next 5-10 years. Direct TTC access was also a must-have for me since I have no car and have to travel to the financial district every day. Ahhhhhhhh.

Fuuuck. We're looking at that price range, but 2 bedrooms around Humber. Not like these two bedrooms are much larger than the shoebox 1 bedrooms though. Definitely more inconvenient transit wise, but the west end is ideal and we've lived around there before.
And yeah, renting in a shit building like we're in right now.. no thanks.
Congrats, Senior Mint!

Yeah the downtown unit I was looking at as my back option was 490(!!!!!!) sq. ft. Ior a one bedroom listed at 365k. The condo I bought was pretty decently sized at 581 sq ft
Thanks!!
Now about that North York meetup...........
Nice as in, life ruiningly horrible?
It sucks because even if the housing bubble pops in Toronto, rent is always going to be insane
I can't find a decent, 1 BR place on the Bloor line for under 1200 so far.

Yeah lol. I should be good on moving though since I have a while to get ready. Thanks for the offer man.

Yeah I was tired of living with a roommate and I was looking for something along the Yonge line (within walking distance to subway)... couldn't find a studio/bachelor for under 1350. A 1BR would have cost me 1600-1700/month, ughhhh.
Congrats!
congrats
Good stuff, JM.
Me, I'm in pre-planning for the team formation to discuss the possibility to put together a exploratory committee for a condo purchase.
I want to stick with downtown but there's so little that's affordable other than CityPlace and I'd like to try and avoid that area.
And there's no way I can pull off just a 5% down with my current income.

It's just crazy to me that condos at Sheppard are now more expensive than the condo I bought in Liberty Village a few years ago.
It's simply not sustainable.

Ice Condos and most of King West still seems okay-ish. I just didn't really like how there was almost nothing around Ice and taking the 504 every day to work seemed like a nightmare I'd like to avoid.
I think the pricing is solely due to the TTC connection. If you take a 5-10 minute walk south east to Harrison Garden you can probably get a new 1BR unit for about 330k with a parking spot. I don't really foresee myself buying a car... ever, so I was willing to pay the 20k premium on a better location as opposed to buying a car.

Speaking of renting, lol: http://www.blogto.com/city/2016/04/renting_a_condo_in_toronto_is_getting_more_expensive/
I work near Ice so maybe that's something to look into.
Last glace I took at it was for a 425 sqft studio condo on the 53rd floor.
I was all "there's a 53rd floor now?"
Congrats Mint.
I think you picked a pretty good spot. And direct TTC access is nice too. I've seen that building and its amenities too - rill gud.
You can put that parking spot/car money towards Bake Code and Whole Foods.
I used to work downtown on the 504 line. I can tell you during rush hours it's in dire need of relief with extra buses or double streetcars.

I walked straight into the crime scene on my way home from work last night. I figured it was no big deal, kept going without really paying attention, and it was kinda surreal to then walk in the door and read about a murder and suspects at large and warnings to avoid the area. I much prefer stumbling upon dead celebrity raccoons on my way home than that.
Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Angel Cafe
No wait. We showed up about 5 minutes before they opened at 2:30 and we were seated right away. Service was friendly, although a few of the waitresses appeared to be pretty new to the whole thing. Food was good (angel hat cake was probably the favourite) and reasonably priced too for what it is.
Much preferred over the lineup at regular ol' Tetsu. You can get the Angel Hat Cake's to go as well.

Yoooo we got more sour beer!
Cuvee des Jacobins. I haven't tasted it yet to compare directly, but like the Rodenbach it's a Flanders red ale and it's aged in oak foudres. I'm pretty excited to see how this one stacks up.
It hit my store today, but should pop up at other places this weekend (on the Friday warehouse shipments).
