Large shopping malls are fine if you have loads of time and don’t mind spending it trying to find a decent parking spot. If you want to avoid the large crowds of Sherway Gardens you may want to give Humbertown Shopping Centre a try. Humbertown Shopping Centre, located at 270 The Kingsway (just North of [...]

Warning: Don’t glance over this entry. When someone mentions “going to the racetrack” visions of chain-smoking gamblers tearing up losing tickets may enter your mind. What actually goes on at Woodbine Racetrack is something much more fun and exhilarating. Woodbine Racetrack is located at 555 Rexdale Boulevard (South-West corner of Rexdale and Hwy 27) in [...]

Way back in the day, before grocery stores and shopping malls, people would grow their own fruits and vegetables. Anything they didn’t grow themselves they would trade for or buy at the local farmers market. The Sherway Gardens Farmers Market is like taking a step back in time, sort of, to the good old days.

Let’s be honest. Fast food burgers are usually pathetic. It’s usually something resembling meat where the taste or lack thereof is masked by the “secret” sauce. Forget all that. We want real burgers… we want Woody’s Burgers. Woody’s Burgers, located at 3795 Lakeshore Boulevard West in Etobicoke, is the answer to your burger cravings. The [...]

If you’ve paid attention to the media lately you’ve probably heard the term “crossfit” being tossed around as the newest way to get in shape and I can tell you it works. It is inevitable that with this new exposure many new crossfit trainers and gyms will pop up and soon fade away. Crossfit Colosseum [...]
