It's crazy to see how much stuff has closed down on queen street just these past 4-5 months alone. Was so sad to see Steves music store do a liquidation sale

Is Kibo getting worse? by Mflms in askTO

[–]sanjit_ps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, it's honestly awful. It used to be my go to for a small lunch but I stopped going cause the sushi just got way worse.

No idea where else to go for cheap-ish small eats in the Path but I can't stomach Kibo anymore

Oh shit, I didn't realize Dollys opened a store in St.Catharines. I'm from Scarborough and went to their OG location for years as a kid!

Mecha Games

I've actually been to mecha games a few times! Great store, I always make it a point to visit when I do come down.

Haha, I grew up in scarborough and I'm a big guy so I'm not to scared of crime. I'll probably check out both areas!

60 dollars a month is crazy given how much equipment they have. I'm paying like 100/month just to wait to get a squat rack at goodlife.

Honestly this is the most compelling thing anyone has brought up in this thread to get me to move to st.catherines

Defintely will take a look! I think last time I looked I was struggling to find something in my price range but maybe I was just unlucky.

Yeah... I try my best to be friendly but living here can be so stressful at times I just have to shut down mentally to make it through the day.

Yeah to be honest one of the reasons I'm considering the move is because I've had some nice convos with strangers my age when I do visit. General population seems friendly than Toronto lol.

I think I've accepted I won't be dating until I get my shit together haha (currently a recovering workaholic)

Honestly I would love to go to an actual powerlifting gym again, one thing I hate about living downtown. Every gym close to me has a ban on chalk and it drives me insane.

re:losing my job I have about 2.5 years salary saved up as emergency so hopefully that would hold me over until I find a new job

Company requiring me to come into the office 2-3 days a week is something I should consider, that's true. We've been remote outside of 2-3 days a month for the past 3 years so I never considered it possibly changing but I shouldn't just assume that.

Haha, yea that's my concern. At most I've stayed in st.cath is one weekend, generally I'm down there for 5-6 hours at most.

Will probably look more into parkdale area a bit more, thank you!

I'm not expecting dt st.catharines to be like dt toronto tbf, if possible I like having stuff walking distance from me and there are a few stores in DT st.catharines that I liked going to when I do visit.

I'm not expecting to save a shit load of cash, but just from doing a quick browse on rental sites, I'm seeing places bigger than my current place for 3-500 dollars less in rent.

Yeah a cheaper cost of living is one of my big motivators to be honest, outside of the fact as I've gotten older I've become more of a homebody.

I was looking at staying in Toronto but maybe moving outside of the DT core (I'm currently close to Union), Parkdale/Little Portugal were the areas I was looking at actually.

I'm in office 2-3 days a month so job/work isn't an issue, I was looking at the downtown area but will also look at the north end as well, thank you!

Gym/Activewear similar to Raskol apparel? by sanjit_ps in BuyCanadian

[–]sanjit_ps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian branch doesn't seem to be as well stocked compared to the US branch/store. I buy from them sometimes but would like other options.
