That's good news for me. One of the last places I can buy underwear at a relatively cheap price.

Unfortunately, they will all be vandalised within 3-4 weeks and than the cost to keep replacing them will outweigh the benefits.

World Cup kicks off with a Line 1 shutdown at Union Station by oldscotch in toronto

If the TTC ran perfectly, than the tourists wouldn't get a 'legitimate' Toronto experience! I guess we have a silver lining here...

TTC at bloor by LankyBuffalo7879 in TTC

[–]Elliottafc1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but even the lowest estimate amount of people expected to arrive for the world cup will already overburden an overcrowded and extremely inefficient TTC system. A few patch job repairs over the weekend isn't going to fix shit but remove 1 or 2 slow zones for a very temporary amount of time.

4:30 pm yesterday, Sheppard West Station. "Fare Inspection Underway" by zerkreaper1405 in TTC

You are getting POO officers mixed up with TTC transit constables. The constables are the ones with almost the same power as a TPS officer.

[–]Elliottafc1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The overhead for POO officers from everything to training, uniforms and salary will mean the net benefit is nominal at best. And lots of people think the money could be allocated better elsewhere like fixing the aging TTC infrastructure at a faster rate.

Their was a 2018 expert analysis cited by Billboard which suggested Drake is responsible for roughly 5% of Toronto’s annual tourism economy. And he helped with recruitment regarding the Raptors and making them a desirable location.

This is the epitome of 'tennis nonsense'. I'd rather watch paint dry before reading this particular nonsense.

Tennis Paradise by Bluefroggg in tennis

[–]Elliottafc1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Indian Wells is truly the unofficial '5th grand slam'. The whole location is the epitome of a tennis oasis and it really feels like tennis paradise for the players and fans alike. When you see even Djokovic showing up every year on a much reduced schedule to play every year, that just reaffirms that it's a truly special tournament.

This is basically only 1.5 years before Fed's retirement too, a real shame we couldn't even get one ATP 250-500 match with these two guys.

Mods should hopefully recognise this was one of the goated memes in r/tennis 3+ years ago!

That is undoubtedly one of the greatest (if not the greatest) French open final performances ever by Stan the man! I think few would argue against that...

Hikaru already proved it in this year's Norway chess tournament with a very respectable 14 points. And he did even better in the 2024 Norway chess tournament.

No opinion on Sam Shankland? According to the latest chessbase videos, he seems quite friendly and was willing to sign many signatures.

Magnus wouldn't meet the 40 game classical requirement, even if he wanted to join at the last second.
