From last week, saw an interesting bumper sticker. Sadly, this is not the worst thing you will see when wandering around St. James Town.
Then, I noticed the scum at the bottom of the Love Park's pool is still present. I hope they are working out the kinks and it won't always be like this. It has looked like that all through May until early June so far.
And today I drove around many parts of Etobicoke, North York, York and Scarborough. The more you do that, the more you realize how much of TO just looks shitty or mediocre. I wonder what it's like to be a delivery driver in the city. Doing it every day. Just chaos. So many people and cars. And so many of the people and so much property just looks so grungy. I mean, I don't like monotonous modern crap in the suburbs either, but so many of the decades old properties are just so rundown looking. And the parking lots too. At least it doesn't look like 80's NYC at the height of their urban decay.
Even in rich areas, as soon as your leave your quaint street, you hit the same shit everyone else does. I went to Yorkdale for the first time in over a decade and it was so interesting to see the fancy rich people walking around knowing they drove through the same garbage street I did to get there: Dufferin. If I were rich like that, I couldn't take it.
As soon as I left Etobicoke and got off the QEW onto Erin Mills in Mississauga it felt so good to have space again, on the road, the gas station and the rental agency parking lot. Room to maneuver again.
Etobicoke. There's way more and way worse I could have posted, but I already did over the past couple of years.
This is just a funny bumper sticker. A reference to the show Yellowstone where if the patriarch of the Yellowstone Ranch (Costner) doesn't want you working there anymore, he has one of his guys like Rip or Lloyd take you to the train station. Which just means they're taking you to the middle of nowhere and putting one or two rounds in your dome.
Well, you can't put anything taller than 2.5 feet in this truck. I guess that's how you can avoid having to do hauling favours for your buddies. They'll have to find another means of moving furniture.
Not gonna lie, I might have riced out my car like this when I was in highschool, thinking it looked cool.
North York. A property my company lends on. Every stairwell leading to the underground parking or a mechanical room looks like this. Last year I went there after rain and it was flooded. Other properties I visited also had stairwells like this.
North York, on Jane. An apartment building or an industrial storage facility? Hint: People live here.
