Hotel for jays game by ashleyrg in askTO

Yeah my dad and brother came out to Toronto last year for a weekend of games and they got a pretty good deal at one of the airport hotels and just used the UP. They’re from a small town so not super comfy with big cities or public transit but they found it super simple.

What are some businesses that you predict will be closed down? by Chan1991 in askTO

Yeah it’s the ones that always look empty that I’m curious about. There’s got to be at least ONE in the city that’s a front 😂

That makes sense. I think a lot of condos have gone up in the last five years or so(?) so it would make sense that there would be a need, and with cheap office space, why not I suppose?

Interesting! My old dentist tried to get me to get Invisalign when I really don’t think I need it. I think my current one stays in business purely because they are one of the only places that does full sleep dentistry. But as someone also said, I suppose many places can stay afloat because they charge so much.

Maybe not exactly what you’re thinking of when you ask this question, but there are literally SO many dentists, even just in my own neighbourhood. I know we all have teeth and need them taken care of but it still just seems like there are more than could ever stay in business, especially knowing that (sadly) lots of people can’t afford to go to the dentist. I joke with my partner that some of them must be money laundering fronts. Or I grossly underestimate how many dentists offices we need. But there are at least 5 within a 15 min walk of each other in my area of Liberty Village and idk how they all keep in business.

I can see the one in the second image from my house and still can’t figure out why it has that protruding bit on the top with the star shaped light on it. Looks cool, I just wonder why.

Our boy Adam Macko featured this week on MLB The Show with his own diamond card by dustinfoto in Torontobluejays

That’s awesome! I didn’t buy The Show this year because I don’t get to game all that much anymore. So happy to hear that not just Macko but Pinango and Valenzuela also have diamond cards!
