well although that reply doesn't sound the friendliest there is no doubt, I think that a small business trying to give discounts might be rather difficult for it to do especially as it is starting out. Business are required to be friendly,…

I 100% agree, the minutes, to my knowledge, have not been prepared so my suggestion was to ensure anyone interested in them now would be added to the distribution list if they had not signed up with the other neary 200 people last week. A web site…

I did not choose the buttons or the name. I respect people's comments and I will certainly pass them along. We are incorporating this association and then all members of the association will be involved in selecting the Board of Directors. I…

I absolutely love Fuss Hair Studio. From the moment you walk through the doors you experience top notch customer service and very friendly staff. Michelle did a beautiful job giving me new fringe. 416 469 0006

If the unit cost for these residences is a bit under $3,000,000 (as stated in the first post), why do these good folks need a discount anyway?

All valid points. At Thursday's meeting at least 8 alternated routes and suggestions were presented to the TTC by the residents. We were advised that they would be given the same consideration as Leslie was (so not much hope) but an authentic…

When I was a child every Christmas brought forth a beautifully wrapped gift at the back of the tree that held my mom's hope that I would discover a love of crafts. The gifts ranged from hook rug kits to weaving machines, crochet hooks and macrame books.

Growing up a Leslievillian

Posted on December 8, 2009 at 11:30am 1 Comment

My parents purchased a townhouse in the Marigold Gardens complex from the builder back in 1978, long before the neighbourhood was reconnected with it's past and embraced the name "Leslieville". It was a different neighbourhood in those days and my parents embraced it. They wanted to ensure their daughter grew up to be unbiased and respectful of all individuals regardless of background or household income. It was tough at times, I was embarassed when I had friends visit and we had to hop over… Continue
