I went to Dufferin Mall today on my way home from work.

Never again. Never again.

It truly is a terrible mall. For emergency Wal-Mart only.

Growing up I had a friend who lived on Brock Ave and I used to call it Dufferin Plaza just to piss him off. :lol

I go there for TRU sales, since Sherway / Yonge & Eg is such a trek. For those desiring a Wal-Mart visit and wanting to avoid Dufferin Mall, there's one at St Clair and Runnymede.

Someone died at a stage collapse for the Radiohead concert tonight at Downsview park. Anyone hear about this?

BigJonsson · (06-16-2012, 09:06 PM)

Yea, concert is cancelled

Duality · (06-16-2012, 09:06 PM)

It's really unfortunate. :(

So is the taste of little Italy worth checking out? Doesn't seem like anyone is talking about it.

I went there too on an emergency errand. Yeah, it's horrible. But it's the only Walmart "downtown".

I've been in the past and it's really hit or miss. It's kind of like Taste of the Danforth where you can get the same food any other day of the week without the massive crowds. It's nice to people watch since it's warm out.

I went to one a few years ago. It was rainy as hell. Food was nothing spectacular. Same shit as taste of the Danforth.

Why do people need to go to Wal-Mart at all?

Kave_Man · (06-17-2012, 01:05 AM)

Was at Brass Tap Pizza on Danforth for the Greece/Russia game. When Greece won the supporters went insane. Ran out onto the street and started singing and dancing.

Radiohead got cancelled at the last second. Can I get a movie theatre recommend near Delta Chelsea?

AMC Yonge and Dundas

lunarworks · (06-17-2012, 03:52 AM)

I went to see a couple of the NXNE acts at Yonge and Dundas Square. Art vs. Science and Hollerado.

Both were amazing.

We didn't feel like sticking around for the Flaming Lips crowd, so we left early.

There's a few TTC accessible Walmarts in Scarborough.

Yeah, I was waiting in line when all of this happened. Absolutely mind-blowing story. Completely tragic.

Incidentally, there was absolutely no way this concert was going to happen cleanly; the "line" was a huge, disorganized crowd.

Zombie James · (06-17-2012, 07:06 AM)

Oh boy, heatwave incoming. Not like I need to sleep or breathe or anything.

Muahaha, I'm leaving to visit my family in Newfoundland Tuesday night. Enjoy your firey air.

But I'll have to deal with it until then. At least I have nowhere to go.

What's wrong with Dufferin Mall? I feel like I need to carry mace while I'm there and/or take a shower after I leave.

Despite their re-branding efforts the place is still a hole.

Took a lady friend to Barchef this weekend. Drinks are fantastic! Way too pricey to go on the regular unfortunately.

Fucking hell. I'm going to be downtown all week.

And I thought today was terrible.

Yes, ESPECIALLY Pacific Mall...
North America's biggest Asian store full of junk.

Walmart should have never been allowed in Toronto. Those stores never help local economies.

As for Dufferin Mall, it's a pretty good place to go watch teenage moms hang out.

Dufferin isn't the greatest mall but it's serviceable.

What a weird way to hurt your ankle. Can't say I haven't hurt myself doing ridiculously mundane things however.

Divvy · (06-18-2012, 07:01 PM)

Dufferin Mall still isn't bad as South Common Mall in Mississauga. The best thing about that mall are the stores not in the mall.

Anyone have any experience using headhunters or temp agencies in Toronto?

My head is aching from this go-nowhere job search...

It's actually a great mall to have lunch at and just lounge around. I used to go there all the time during high school to stalk the catholic school girls.

They were temp at first, but both ended up getting full time within a manner of months.
