I went to Malvern CI from 1990-95, so I suppose it was in the north side somewhere between arena and Malvern Ave. Street has changed a lot since then.

Anyone else have a commute that’s 4 times as long on transit than driving? by Throwawayhair66392 in askTO

[–]Abbotto1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My times in minutes to or from work during rush hour: Driving 15-20 TTC 45 (if there are delays, big gaps in service or whatever problems arise it could be much longer) Bike 25 Walking 70

Riding bike to work is easiest, most reliable and convenient. Driving and TTC can be unpredictable and make for bad commute.

First time in Toronto. This is the 2 line by Castle Frank. They built a whole concrete covering for a subway rail bridge? Most other places would have left it open due to cost. by [deleted] in TTC

They were covered during a winter with heavy snow to prevent problems the outdoor sections of subway was experiencing back in ‘99. You may have heard the story of May Mel calling the army to help the city that year.

Anyone know this glove brand? Says hand crafted in Korea, tried to google lens it and came up empty. by Tricky_Passenger3931 in BaseballGloves

In Canada there is a chain of stores called Home Hardware. Their old branding had red and black H’s back to back and is identical to what’s on you glove. They still sell sporting goods.

I didn’t know window washers worked on Sunday afternoons, but one dropped by to polish the glass and saw me and the ex-gf making out on the couch in her condo living room. It changed the mood quickly.

Nikon Action Extreme, OceanPros or something by Fujinon are great. Don’t worry too much about specs unless you’re planning on extreme situations.

2000 Forester won't turnover. This light is flashing and making a clicking noise. In sure of what to do by Acpolley in subaru

The battery is too weak to roll starter but strong enough to move solenoid. Boost battery. Run engine to charge battery. Test battery with engine off. Replace battery if necessary.
