Photos Of The Week!

Photos Of The Week

Here’s a feature I haven’t run in a long time!

I could sure go for a bowl of Special-K Red Berries…

We start today’s blog with a look at “TRUE” real estate in Toronto.

I’ve seen a few of these billboards across the city, and I don’t understand.

Putting something in italics usually means the word has an important and perhaps hidden meaning.  What is a TRUE downtown condo?  What is TRUE downtown living? Does that mean that the rest of us weren’t really living downtown?  Or we just weren’t living?

Axiom Condos is going to be built at Adelaide and Ontario Street, so is that truly more downtown than Spire or One-King-West?

These billboards are silly.

DAMN!

Was Special-K on sale?

Or are these condo owners stocking up for Armageddon?

I counted seventeen boxes in four varieties.

I still prefer Cheerios.  Call me boring, if you want…

I alluded to the fact that my beautiful terrace was a “second go-around” when I showed you the video last week.

Well in the spirit of honesty, here is a photo of the “first go-around.”

Thanks, Home Depot!  These may have been dirt-cheap, but apparently they wouldn’t live in the dirt, or anywhere else for that matter.

If you need trees – check out Bradford Greenhouse in Barrie, er….Bradford…

Guess how many units are for sale in this building?

Can you guess?  Three.

Sooooo….why are there twenty-two lockboxes present?

Realtors aren’t very smart.  I know I have a lockbox in this city….somewhere…

This is awesome!

Maybe I should have led with this photo.

Every time Rogers calls me and asks why I don’t have a home phone line, I smile and ask them to tell me why I can’t just use my cell phone.

Home phones are obsolete, unless you’re 82-years-old, and payphones are obsolete, unless you’re a crack dealer.

Clearly, this one isn’t being used…

This is just a small sample of the 500-something number of books this one seller had on Christianity.

Too bad my clients and I are all heathens…

Worst clock I’ve ever seen.

“What time is it?”

“Ummmm…….wall-thirty?”

I understand ‘modern’ but this is taking things too far…

And last but certainly not least, here is the note that was left on the windshield of my car when my window was smashed and my laptop was stolen.

Does anybody think that somebody left the note, and then a different person smashed the window and stole the laptop?  Two perps?

That would be a good first episode for a new Law and Order spin-off to go with SVU and Criminal Intent; this one entitled, “Law & Order: Lame Yuppie Problems.”

Have a great weekend, everybody!

    Is the payphone on Eastern Ave near the Weston bakery?
    Eastern gets great foot traffic… Maybe once the bakery is converted to condos.

    Only seventeen boxes of cereal? What an amateur. I’ve got close to eighty 🙂

    Maybe the people who had all the Special K belong to that religion that requires it’s adherents to be prepared with a year’s worth of food for the end of the world?

    “True Downtown Living”: When you grew up in the burbs your whole life and dream of living at Front and Spadina, then

    A. Realize its the shittiest thing in the world.
    B. You can’t drive for your life, never mind park.
    C. None of your friends ever come visit you, except to pass out on your couch after clubbing on Richmond.

    I think this slogan is open for interpretation, or “something”…
