Who's old enough to remember these gadgets?

I'm glad you survived the burger sprint so you could also rock the icecream marathon

Can't believe I did it. I've been saying for 3 yrs I wanted to do an "ice cream a week" at Dairy Bar & this yr I finally did it. Had 22 ice cream sundaes in 22 wks, & 22 different flavours. Not gonna lie, I'm going to feel a bit lost next week. Thanks for following along w my ice cream adventures! 🍨

I try to get 3:30 dentist appointments for my kid and then take the bus after school.
They get upset that I don't drive down so we can listen to the radio. But I do not enjoy driving in traffic at rush hour and there are bus lanes.
(Personal trip 15 min there and back in protected bike lanes)

At lunch I could grab a cheap slice at Velos or get my haircut at the barbershop (which reeked of weed from the tattoo shop upstairs half the time)

I used to work in that warehouse. There was a pool hall where the letter carriers would go after work, a guy that taught you how to build a wooden kayak, buddy that made clay figurines (Clayton was his name of you believe that), RadStorm, and Halifax Cycles (and guitars)

I'm really hoping that something interesting will come along to make Richmond Yards/Young District *interesting*

If anyone in Toronto is renting out or subletting an apartment that meets my peculiar requirements, please message me! Not having much luck on Facebook. Budget is negotiable.

The secret to making a switchable center transit lane in the middle of Robie is that you can just drop people off in the middle of the street because traffic still won't be moving

What I think is missing in the minimum wage/living wage debate is that modern suburban sprawl is inherently unsustainable. It's very difficult to live without significant expenses. Vehicle ownership being a major component that isn't actually required. You need to eat, you need to sleep

This is not what we mean when we say cyclists need more protection. #BikeHfx

#BikeHfx parking so new it’s still under wraps! (Didn’t know they wrapped these things during shipping 😄)

A single bike parking spot bolted to a sidewalk. It had protective wrapping.

On Fuller Terrace, Stephen Archibald admired a house built on a vacant lot, a good friend to the surrounding flat roofed houses that are about 100 years older. This and other things noticed around the city recently:

When we made some this year I was eating it straight from the jar at the stove and @charmaine116.bsky.social walked in on me.
I can't look her in the eye anymore
