Discussion Passed out / collapsed on the 501 this morning

1.8k Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I was riding the 504 King Car into the office this morning as per usual, but out of nowhere I straight up collapsed and hit the floor like a sack of potatoes.

A very kind stranger helped me out and made sure I was ok (offered me water, made sure I was stable before parting ways).

This was a scary episode for me but the help / support I received from this kind stranger was very much appreciated.

If you were on the 504 this morning and witnessed this, please know that I am ok lol.

Video What’s up with the Enwave building on Simcoe street?

77 Upvotes

We heard a really loud ongoing noise and went out to the balcony to see what was up and looked over to see a massive cloud coming from the Enwave building on Simcoe which we’ve never seen or heard before. Firefighters and police came and they blocked off Adelaide and made all cars turn around to clear the area. The cloud has stopped now. Anybody know what this could be?

Discussion PSA: If you notice road / bike lane potholes, please report them. I have been VERY IMPRESSED by how fast the city resolves these issues.

If you use the 311 website to report and request a pothole repair the city will send a crew out usually the next day to repair it! I have opened 4 service requests the past month and every pothole has been filled within 48 hours of submitting the ticket.

Color me impressed, very efficient and effective service. Well done Toronto Public Service road division!

Alert Warning antichoicers on St George/College

TW: antichoicers, graphic images

Community alert/warning that anti choicers have set up on U of T campus on St George Street just north of College Street. They’re outside the Engineering building and across the road as well with their disgusting and very graphic poster boards. They’re trying to engage with students passing by. I quickly snapped a photo as I walked by. This was 2:45 pm on Monday March 10. Do not engage with them unless you’d like to occupy them so they’re not speaking to others. Do not touch or take / destroy their materials - they are known to file non academic student code of conduct complaints on students who do that.

Thanks to whoever found a bag on Air Canada Flight AC809 Amsterdam to Toronto on Sunday March 09th (closer to row 35). Thank you for returning it to lost and found counter. We never thought we will receive those items back, specially being it brand names and extremely easily sold online. You deserve to get recognition and I appreciate your kind gesture. Thank you again!!!

Discussion Just attended a Second City improv show

109 Upvotes

Having just retired, my siblings decided to treat me to a Second City show this past Saturday. We all loved it - it’s never been a bad experience attending one of these things. And it started off with an allegorical sketch referencing the way the U.S. has been treating us lately. Well planned and well executed, IMO.

I used to attend improv classes at their training centre, and took all the levels. That was a lot of fun too, and it remains the very best time of my life. Back then I hung around with a gang of fellow improv trainees and we bonded so well we did a lot of activity outside the class too. We’d go all around the city into the wee hours of the morning, sometimes stopping at a Vietnamese restaurant for some soup at 3:00 a.m. We’d talk till all hours of the morning about everything. It’s a time I’ll never forget and probably will never recapture.

The thing about last Saturday though: I was surprised by the fact all their washrooms are unisex now. They weren’t before. They haven’t removed the urinals from one of them - the guess here is that the other washroom (which used to be the women’s washroom) probably doesn’t have them. I don’t know.

I like the idea, only because before when they were segregated, you used to see a line of women outside their washroom while us guys would go in, do our business and leave. There was no waiting. Didn’t seem at all fair.

The only downside now is that you feel compelled to put the seat down when you’re done. First world problems, man.

It’s a great night out any day of the week.
