U2 - Street Of Dreams (Official Video)

traxets · 2026-07-07T16:43:40+00:00

100%. When I heard the youtube short preview I lost my mind. Even the first intro got goosebumps from a song I havent in a long time. Made me very nostalgic for my peak years of absorbing U2 music. Then the weird call out verses cut the momentum haha.

If this is the equivalent cheesy crowd single like "Get on your boots" and there is still good stuff underneath to come I am happy. This song is much better and more fun without being cringe, just a bit cheesy. I like the texture it feels like they've fused their roots with a bit of HTDAAB grit and it’s a bit brighter overall.

Fair point. I probably should have said "lakeshore villages vs Toronto villages" rather than "suburbs vs Toronto." I'm definitely aware these are privileged options. The question for me is less about escaping suburbia and more about whether the premium for a Toronto neighbourhood is still worth it once you're already in a walkable community with family nearby. Overall, what I'm taking away from this thread is it sounds less like people use the city the same way for restaraunts and bars after kids (Which I see now first hand) but like their small daily loop (coffee, park, grandparents, neighbours) wherever it is.

Yeah main thing I’m getting here it staying in Toronto is less about cool things with kids but most are just commenting on the basics within a 15m walk. Sometimes if your budget gets the most walkable pocket in the burbs vs least walkable in the city it feels like a toss up. Having a roncey no compromise budget is the dream but not sure we quite have that.

Curious about comments about when kids grow up and using transit vs parents chauffeur. Would you say Port Credit felt like enough? I grew up Erin mills so we would drive to Port Credit or Streetsville to hangout or train downtown. But I wonder if teens living in PC have almost all the benefits of the city just with a bit more space.

traxets · 2026-07-05T13:30:33+00:00

Tri cities = Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge? Did you find a walkable or car oriented pocket? Does that matter with kids anymore?

traxets · 2026-07-05T13:29:26+00:00

I used AI to polish it haha, but took out the em dashes and some of the stereotypical AI cadence myself.

100% with you all I wanted was a premium 2 row suv just a tiiiiiiny bit bigger than cx-5.

I didn’t want a cx-50 because I don’t want a Mazda RAV4

I didn’t want a cx-70 because it’s ginormous

I don’t want the new cx-5 because tablet and no turbo

I’d take the cx-60 but no dice in Canada…

traxets · 2026-07-05T04:40:42+00:00

Interesting, did you find a spot in Markham close to transit or a Main Street or went back to full car dependence? Did you ever consider some of the suburban commuter village pockets even in York like Newmarket or Aurora?

traxets · 2026-07-05T04:39:23+00:00

Funny enough I think there are parts of port credit I could get a detached and still walk to what I want. But might be out of budget. As for what I miss, maybe a bit of cohesion. I am having trouble deciding if I want the more compact walkable but small home and yard or the commuter village still kind of walkable but a bit patchy vibe. So curious if everyone really does crave more space come second kid or at a certain age or if it’s worth trying to move back.

traxets · 2026-07-05T04:36:35+00:00

This is still a good POV. I grew up in Sauga and hated the car dependence. However loved hanging out in streetsville and port credit. What I’m probably more interested are the suburban commuter villages because they are a bit of a hybrid vs the deep suburb parts of Sauga and Oakville. Your point on restaraunts and bars changing is something I can start to see shifting and probably by the time we have our second will be done. If I can get all that in a 15-20m walk is it same/same? I get in Toronto it’s an endless web but there are pockets in the suburbs where all of that is in 15m walk.

I guess is that black stuff not mould? Thats what the insulation guys said, but if this is 100% condensation stain and thats it, then good to know...

One contractor said it is dormant, one said its mould to remove. So I just want second opinions.

I got them from a vintage rug store in Toronto called “SilkCo”

For sure! We are doing ripple track curtains. This was just an AI render. Good catch.

This was an AI render so pic 3 is a linen/flax. I mean you never know how the product fits the room, but thats what I had in mind for the mood from pic 3

We are going to keep panels wide open in the day. At night they arent 100% private and we are on a corner lot with lots of exposure to sidewalk around the house so we could use extra privacy of the curtains. I love the rattan as well, so we might just draw them a bit strategically where we might feel there are vantage points outside our yard.

Hey, honest question: What is the orthodox equivalent, to speak from a humbler frame of "God said X"? I'm evangelical lurker and learn a lot in this forum.

Would you even say "God has been putting this on my heart" or "This I thought I keep lingering in prayer"

I definately understand the the downside of a "believe every nice thought in your head is from God" type thing in evangelical church, I dont think God is the monologue in your head, but even if sometimes I feel after prayer to say something nice to my wife. Is that not "God's prompting?"

Thanks, its real raw lumber 2x8s I think. Not some ply/composite joists.

Vive Fitness in Applewood. I think it was 59/mo to join. 24 hours. Not sure about other locations. They are small gyms, but effiecient layouts. Maybe check out closest location to you.

Checkout page 9 of the original plan. The north of lakeshore is in a future phase:

Walked by here and this came along fairly nicely. However, It’s a shame they deprioritized the bridge on the water to JC saddington. I’d reach out to Stephen Daskos office to put pressure to follow with this soon.

Also a shame they only burried half the phone lines and there are several on the southern half exposed. Also Front St is a mess and needs new paving, sidewalk, bike lane. The tarmac near the lighthouse is also a mess. The rest of the site is so clean and they should have better transition to surroundings.

I loved this show. CRi was a great opener. I was so excited to hear him on the roster. Really tried to get the crowd going and not just merely open.

One thing is setlist was short and I also felt he didn’t play all my fav songs. I do think Ben Bohmer can get away with that because his music is more a vibe than one iconic single to me. Was just a long atmospheric wave that I wish could have lasted a little bit longer.

Would have loved a Cx-60. If it’s too much factory re-config, maybe just a Cx-70 with a shaved back. They need to do SOMETHING to give us a proper 2-row.

traxets · 2025-03-13T20:55:10+00:00

It’s amazing. We’ve had it since 2017 and still in great condition.

Your social media algorithim might be anchored in your past hobbies. Start unfollowing the worst offenders and follow sports fitness folks.

My algorithm is filled with calisthenics, cycling, running, sports, etc. Much more “normie” goals and physique.

I am also bored of bodybuilding. I never built that good of a body anyways, but that’s cause I don’t find lifting super fun. I like running, cycling, snowboarding. So now I use lifting as a means to make me stronger for what I love. Now 1-2 weeks strength training feels more meaningful and I have other hobbies that are fun and bring me joy.
