I find myself in beautiful High Park for one of two reasons: to bring my dogs to run or to use as a photo-shoot location for engaged couples. As it can be expected it is crowded on nice days. Everyone else seems to have covered the picturesque…More »

This is probably one of the best things to happen to the neighbourhood in recent history. Grand opening was November 2008 and it hasn't looked back since.
The space is a reclaimed TTC barn and has five 'barns' each labeled with giant steel…More »
The owners Maureen and Llewellyn named the store after their dog and while I don't see them as often in the store these days, the young people they've hired to mind the store are friendly, helpful and competent. (I think they started out as co-op…More »

Home Depot or Rona? It's like Nikon vs Canon, PC vs Mac, at least if you compare our preferences to our neighbour's (same neighbour mentioned in my Future Shop review). Nay-bour insists that he gets better service at Rona but we seem to only…More »
This is a piece of dog heaven. It's not the hugest area, but more than enough for a couple dogs to run, and besides you didn't drive all the way there for them just to stay on land. The sandy, more shallow beach is to the left and a rocky area (not…More »
The Miller Ave park is a Town of Markham official dogs off-leash area located at the northwest corner of Miller Avenue and Rodick Road. It is maintained and run by what seems to be a very keen group of volunteers. It looks like the volunteer-run…More »
The sign boasts that Winston Churchill is "a City within a park" and I would say that that is pretty accurate. Since Sam G. has done a great job describing the park I will focus my review on the primary reason I make the walk to WC, the dog park…More »

Good ol' Hillcrest Park services a pretty large surrounding neighbourhood. For a city park it is a great size - just big enough to kick a ball around on, but small enough so that you can be heard if you had to shout at a dependent from across the…More »
Strategically located beside a veterinary office, Mutts & Cats is a cute little addition to the St. Clair West strip. Owner Rosemary is friendly and eager to meet the needs of the local pet owners.
She carries premium brands of cat and dog foods, a…More »
I see ROTD and think of LOTR (6)Well, I guess two points make a line, three make a triangle, four a quadrangle and also a list! |
Trade Secrets (photography) (2)But not so secret anymore. Here are the businesses that help me better my photography business. (Started Jan '11 - sorry just two things right now. I've just been so secretive about my other places so stay tuned). |
My Fair St. Clair West (8)Non-food related reviews for St. Clair West between Bathurst and Dufferin. Only the good stuff. |
Fool me once, shame on me. (2)A list to remind myself of places not to bother with again. |
Boring reviews (3 stars) (5)I realize that I don't have many 3 star reviews because they are boring to write. I will try to be a good yelper and catch up a bit and also make a list while I am at it. These aren't all my 3 star reviews but they were all a chore to write. |
Eat, Drink, St. Clair West (8)It's a good thing I like to cook or else I'd be fat and broke from these places! |
Would YOU share the last bite? (4)The food at these places are so enjoyable that I wouldn't even consider sharing the last bite with my sweet little baby girl. (Don't worry, the kid is far from deprived, it's just that the last morsel is to be enjoyed for myself). |
Down-East Bound (5)Just about every year for the past five years we've driven down to New Brunswick for a visit. Here are some of the places we enjoy. |
The Stockyards Area (5)No, not the BBQ joint I frequent. I'm referring to that area north of the Junction deep in the western wilds of St. Clair where the 512 ends and where there is a touch of suburban big-box sprawl. |
Tim-hits and tim-misses (3)Yes their coffee tastes like dishwater but you can't escape this Canadian institution. Some locations are better than others. These are the ones I know. |
