Leslieville Diner - Has anyone been there?

Has this place opened yet? Has anyone been? I'm curious if it's a "legit" greasy spoon diner (something I think the neighborhood could use)

Online Pedometer

Apparently I am the only one still driving my favourite routes to calculate how far I'm running. Members of the Leslieville Running Group have thankfully enlightened me by telling me about Gmaps Pedometer. This application is useful for cyclists, walkers and runners who want to map out and calculate new routes or figure out what distances they're already covering.

Now… Continue
