No longer relegated to credit or bank cards, a new bank note being released by The Bank of Canada this November (more to follow in 2012) promises to seem just as flimsy and worthless as the mag stripes you destroy in your back pocket today. Progress!
Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment and Canadian Blood Services is partnering up to host Ontario’s biggest single blood donor clinic. The goal: to collect 500 units of blood in one day. That means we need donations from 500 people. It’s happening at the ACC on Monday, June 20, from 10am-7pm. Why? Because we need to raise awareness and educate. Despite the fact that 50% of the Canadian population can donate, only 3.7% do. In Toronto, only 1.8% donate. Toronto needs to import 50,000 units of blood a year to meet the needs of patients in this region. So we need Torontonians to step up, rally together and donate. Because let’s face it – the status of one’s health can be unpredictable and you never know when you or someone you love will need it. Call 1-888-2-DONATE to book an appointment at The Big Save. Here’s the link and our Facebook page: www.blood.ca/thebigsave www.facebook.com/CentralOntarioBlood
I can’t decide if he’s guarding the dust or that coned-off hole with the sapling popping out of it.
Hmm….now where have I seen this bicycle before?
Oh yeah, now I remember: “Spontaneous act of art ordered removed from Dundas Street.” Maybe Mayor Ford isn’t trying to remove street art for the purpose of beautifying the city, perhaps he just wants it for his own living room?
Thanks for Councillor Mark Grimes for snapping that first photo, the Toronto Star for the second one, and to Rob Ford for providing the irony.
The C.N. Tower’s new $175 EdgeWalk attraction set to open in August. I shat my pants just watching the video.
A few weeks back Patrick and I went to the grand opening of the latest location of St. Louis on Yonge Street (528 Yonge St.). We both gushed over the food, enough to take some goofy pics of me making a huge mess of myself, as one does when eating BBQ ribs and yummy wings and whatnot, right? Right?
The management came over to investigate the camera flashes and giggling (Patrick’s, I swear! lol). When we confessed the truth about Patrick fave hobby, i.e. TorontoCityLife they were very excited for the free advertising (based on actually enjoyment of gooooood bar food, I swear!). They liked us so much that they offered up a pair of FREE DINNERS at their location!! So, we are sharing our excitement with you, the lovely followers of this site!!
EAT ME, EAT ME, EAT ME!!!
We highly encourage you all to check out the new resto at: 528 Yonge St., Toronto, On. St. Louis Wings. Say ‘hi’ to my pals Stacey + Huda for us!!!
Patrick’s rules:
For you and a friend to scarf down some wicked wings + fries, all you have to do is to post the 3rd comment correctly answering this skill testing question:

Calling all #Toronto culture vultures! Don’t forget LUMINATO 2011

Me and my girl will be somewhere in the city. Feel free to find us! ;)
See you there! Stay tuned…
I have had this one burrito many, many times since i met my BF. It is usually Sooo Gooood and warm and juicy too. ” Yum yumm yummmm…”
You’d think it would always be that way, right?
Alas, it was not.: (
I have this burrito here, the rest of, i.e. MOST of it, because I THINK I AM ALLERGIC TO IT… : ( I don’t know why I am having a reaction to it this one time. Poor Ollie is DYING sink his teeth into it because it smells good and tastes better… I hate having to say NO to him but I must.
To this experience I say BOOO… :(
Just plain ol’ Boooo… :(
Lately, I MUST admit I am a lucky gal, luckier than most. I have a solid bf, a loving and affectionate kitty cat, and a bag of pretzels at my side for my salt cravings…
Ok, that is that. I am INCREDIBLY tired lately. Have you other gals ever felt super sluggish and down because of it? The heat might be a factor, but… everything seems to be ‘feeling’ wrong in terms of my body. :( AND I have to take yet another needle today, tomorrow, and always.
I take great joy in the fact that my amazing guy will return later and we will hopefully have dinner together. :D
And YES, I am STILL at home. More mobile than 3 days ago but still at home… like a patient without patience.
Stay tuned cuz hopefully I’ll be walking around this city and dining out and sharing THAT with you instead of my moping.
