The buildings interiors are sustainable, and the interior designer Andrea Kantelberg is Canada’s biggest talent for interiors, the lobby is gorgeous.

Jon, that’s not a dig at you! It’s actually from statistics Canada: the most recent census results for the city show the majority of individuals aged 25+ who still live at home are in that general area of the city. Blessing in disguise, though – I’ve never considered the booze money I could save. Knowing me, I’d spend it all on pizza. And like Anon E. Mouse, it’s all about the creamy garlic, baby.

Carl, I did spend my youth growing up in North York, so I could never forget those roots. Beyond Scarborough Center, I could never figure out the true purpose of Castle Frank subway station. A shiny new wooden nickel to anyone who knows why that station exists.

As someone who has lived on Bloor street for… 5 years now?…. I would never have expected your map of Toronto to extend anywhere north of say… Eglinton. Actually, I also hear if you try and take the subway to the mystic stop called Scarborough Centre, you actually fall off the end of the earth, and into space.

Ummm…..”Still Live With Parents”…is that a dig at me? Don’t make me bring up how much booze money I save on rent a year.

I’m a creamy garlic man myself.

(That map was genius).

damn…. calzones (weren’t they something cheesy like pizz’ones?)… actually, I forgot about them. But the spicy cheddar sauce from Pizza Pizza will always have a special place in my heart…
anyway, I’ll be back when I’m fluent.. which hopefully won’t be long since I should be starting classes full-time next year )

That building reminds me of the one from I, Robot.

I’m looking forward to the more-detailed map of Toronto through the eyes of the Roman Emperor.

Shizzle, get back to Toronto already. We all know you miss it. I’m down anytime you want to indulge in some dipping sauce madness. Remember the days of Pizza-hut calzones?

Romi, that Harveys had symbolic meaning for me also. A couple of friends and I, when we started working at Bay/Bloor, would venture to that Harveys for the ultimate combo. The ultimate combo is when you replace fries with poutine. Oh the madness.

I think I’ll have to take that map and do a re-hash. There’s so many funny places in the city, it might be worth it to chronicle them all.

Hahahaha…I LOVE that map! I laughed my ass off, because IT’S TRUE!

Please don’t tell me they’re gonna demolish the Harvey’s; anytime I’m looking to swing by Yorkville, I hop off the Yonge/Bloor subway stop, eat Harveys’ with my friends (’cause we’re too cheap to eat the expensive food at yorkville restaurants), and then walk over to cumberland/avenue rd to eat fancy desserts with cappuccino..I do NOT want my Yorkville routine to get fucked up…

PS: that building is fugly….

haha, I’ve been here too long because my first reaction to the pic of the envisioned building was “damn, I don’t wanna be near that during an earthquake…” :-S
I’m looking forward to that day when earthquakes are once again non-existent in my life.
Anywho, I miss my old house in the centre of “great pizza”, only an arm’s reach from both cheap korean food/karaoke, and chinese bootleg DVDs…
Here, a medium pizza is $20-25.. and the dipping sauce?.. many have mayo slathered on already, but Pizza Hut often tapes a pack of “sweet maple sauce” to the box.. umm why?

but you forgot to add “ghetto-in-training” around the “funny smelling” area )
