Yep, at the cottage. When I was a kid, I'd be playing (mostly swimming) all day. Now I could take a nap in the afternoon.

I gots you, fam!
"I'm busy looking for an affordable place before Chinese people drive up the cost of housing even more...?"
Very true, but...
it's more like "maybe, but, yeah, I'll let you know. Oh no! something came up!" but not really
Either way, I'm planning to stay here so I'm not in that market.

Hmmmm try the Canadian Tire on Lake Shore Blvd; it's close by you too. I didn't wait much there last time.
Welp, I bought a weekend pass. lol

I stopped going about three years ago. I get the urge every year but pass it up. The panels all started to just blur together for me. Same shit, different year. The gaming stuff they have tempts me but that's really only something I would go for a day to try out and a single day pass is too expensive.
Commitment to green space....in my Toronto?
Will be cool if this comes together, shockingly forward-thinking move.

Good way to start removing the hideous railway blight near the waterfront. Hopefully they could extend this across the entirety of the rail corridor downtown one day making it our "central" park

Doubt I'll see that in my lifetime.
Last year was the first time I organized myself and planned panels to attend vs. just walking around and stumbling into panels.
Huh, I always kind of liked the trains.

No man those trains were such an eyesore in what should be a nice part of the city lol.
On another note fucking Rogers is sending out price increase notices for the grandfathered Corp plans. Fuckers.

To add salt to this, every increase helps fund the Toronto Maple Leafs!

Bless Rogers' old 6GB data plan. I ain't letting go!
Unless I jump to another carrier.
I mean, I thought they looked good. Maybe it's just my crazy engineer eyes.
It's nice that they're dreaming big now, but I feel we'll all be dead by the time they get the park built, if they actually go through with it. Makes for nice renders though and is actually slightly more realistic than Doug Ford's waterfront. But only slightly. I'd still prefer turning the Gardiner into a park.
Building a park as a cover for the downtown railway lines isn't a new idea. I remember reading a proposal for it a good 4 or 5 years ago when I was considering buying a prebuild condo adjacent to the tracks. I think the recommendation might have been years old already by the time I saw it too.
It's a nice idea and would go a long way towards helping pretty up what should be one of the most beautiful areas in the GTA, but I'll believe it when I see it. Something like 600 million is a lot for a park when there are so many other projects to fund and go over budget for.

I'd prefer the 20th but I'm fine with the 19th.
I'll make sure he brings you that terrible cider they have there.
19th works for me. Working on the 20th.
I haven't tried it yet. I'll remember to bring my Canadian Tire money.

Montreal was incredible. Went to a show. Checked out a bar and had brunch.
