Looking to hold a little get together in the Toronto area on Sunday. Probably just meet at a coffee shop in the west end and shoot the breeze for a while. Supposed to be a nice day.
Anyone interested?

I go there all the time on my way home from school. The lot isn't very big :( We may be able to swing it on a Sunday though... the entrance is also interesting, due to islands and such you can only access the place from either Southbound Hurontario or Westbound Britannia. Same as when exiting (be prepared to potentially make a u-turn).

However around the corner there's a big lot (Samsung office building) which we may or may not be able to get into to take pics...

not to mention how friggin step the south entrance is!

I say screw the Starbuck (don't drink that *shoot* anyway) and we can all get lunch at the Fire pit next to it. (assuming I make it)

Picked that cause it seemed like an easy location to get to. Can't imagine that there will be more than half a dozen of us there. We can always go over to the place that Peter recommends afterwards for some chow if we want to.

its the same parking lot (all one building) I think there would be more then enough parking, the back area there is usually pretty empty)


on a completely unrelated note, Jerry, what time are you usually in that area? My GF swore she saw "my old car" last week while waiting for the bus (she works down by Hurontario/Mathison)

Oh yeah, I scrape my front end there all the time. :oops:

And hmm, that probably wouldn't have been me, I'm done at Sheridan now, but I do work down at 401/Mississauga Road. Closest I was to there would be Mavis/Burnhamthorpe on Thursday/Friday.

That location/time is ok with me, and I'll choke down some Starbucks ;) I actually like Starbucks coffee over Tims coffee, but the comparision ends there.

the secret is to leave the exit at as much of a angle that you can, your not the only one to scrap That car on That rap.. :P :-$
so far with the G8 I've been lucky, a they have the wheels very close to the corners. good thing too, cause the car is much lower then the Ei.


And that my have been you..

she takes a few different buses and routes to get home (depending on time and what bus she gets on first)
