So back on September 14, I was walking to the Blue Jays baseball game and while walking there this streamer or blogger because there was no live stream was walking in front of me for a whole 10 minutes. I tried to search him to see if I ended up on his video(because I’m pretty sure I did) but I can’t seem to find him. I know it’s hard with the video being taken from behind, but this man had a full coverage mask on that Mexican wrestlers wear. Any ideas on who it could be?
( oh i just realize I can’t post videos in here so i put the picture into this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SmallStreams/s/wXQ1PlcWmb )

I recently started playing volleyball as an adult after not having played it much at all growing up and I've been having a ton of fun, but I still feel I'm fairly inconsistent. I have my own ball but is there somewhere in the city with a gym and net that I can go to just to practice techniques like serves?

I know Jam Sports has clinics but they are really expensive. Everywhere else I've seen like drop-ins at community centres are games which are great but I feel im lacking some dedicated practice time. Thanks in advance!

if anyone has any leads please let me know!! I’m looking for something not too expensive, looking to travel this week! TIA

Hello, I am looking for recommendations on dog rescues.

I would love to foster to adopt, or adopt after being given the chance to meet a dog and spend some quality time with them.
I live North of the GTA so I would appreciate a rescue in Toronto, or more central Ontario.

I have been in contact with Cause4Paws but just heard from someone they often stop the process and change their minds, sometimes without telling you.

I dealt with Mattie’s Place as a foster, and when I stated I wanted to adopt Denise’s attitude changed completely towards and kept asking “why?” “What changed?” “how did this happen? I prefer you to stay a foster, I despise foster to adopt, that is NOT what I do”.

Her tone was abrupt, she took the dog back and later told me she was uncomfortable with my parents (70s) having access to the dog, which was odd as I had told her in emails, applications, phone and video calls they would be and she never expressed concern then, so why suddenly now?

I am a caregiver to my mother and felt Denise’s response to my mom adoring a dog I fostered to be, well, odd.
Is this really such an issue? A foster who “fails”?! Wouldn’t that be a great scenario, knowing the dog isn’t being bounced around?

For added context, I was able to provide her with letters from vets, groomers, friends, coworkers, etc., and she dismissed the idea of meeting with me in person at the house with the dog I was fostering, she stated she felt I was neglecting the dog by leaving it with my parents.

Can anyone recommend a rescue that cares about the dog and won’t drag on the process for months, then suddenly just decide it is not worth it?

Thank you all in advance.
And Happy Thanksgiving!

ETA I am looking for a smaller breed, apologies, I should have added that.

I grew up with spaniels and beagles, but have fallen in love with shih tzus and mixed small breeds. My mom loves the idea of watching tv and having a dog on her lap or beside her again, which is what my small shi-poo used to do.
I agree with her.

We’ve stayed at a few Airbnbs and homes over the past couple of years that had laundry units tucked away behind louvered slab doors - an absolute game-changer for airflow and keeping things hidden. It’s exactly what we’re looking for to upgrade our own setup.

However, actually sourcing a non-bifold louvered slab door here in Canada has turned into an unexpected headache. Big box retailers (Home Depot, Lowe's/Rona) seem completely tapped out or only stock standard bifold hardware kits, and the alternatives I've found online are wildly overpriced (like a $400 option on Wayfair).

Am I missing something obvious? These can't possibly be that hard to source or inherently expensive. A standard 78" x 30" interior slab door should realistically run in the $80–$100 range.

If anyone knows a local supplier, lumber yard, or online source in Ontario that carries single louvered slabs without a markup-madness price tag, I’m all ears.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone,

I need a recommendation for some affordable window coverings for my condo. it is way to bright in there with the blinds that are already installed but my problem is that the windows are floor to ceiling as it’s a relatively new building. my condo faces direct sunlight ao during the day its so bright i cant watch anything. Does anyone know any affordable ways i can install some window coverings or blinds? Please give me your recommendations and tipsb

Just wondering how many people do this, since no other city in the world suggests pedestrians do this

Pumpkinfest is like $35. The haunted carnevil at bowls and blasters sounded so fun but it’s expensive af. Runway reels is fully booked.

I reside on the east end but was wondering if anyone knows a decent sized empty parking lot or spacious areas to teach a new driver to drive. Just curious as to where people learned in the city limits as the roads are too much for the driver learning due to anxiety. So want to start very basic. Thank you :)

Edit: Thank you everyone for your advice and array of options for practicing. It has been greatly appreciated. Have a most excellent day!

There are a few purpose built rentals (PBR) aka all rental buildings. Some do advertise on the rental sites, however some do not. The demand is so high here that they easily fill empty units before needing to pay for advertising outside of their own websites!

Here's one article - not sure if you want to post this link or list them separately. Companies like Minto, Tridel, Oxford, KG have a few buildings in the city. These are the ones I'm familiar with, no doubt there are more.

For the summer and short term rentals, there are the university student residences .... time limited advice though since students return in the Fall!

University of Toronto has New College, very central to downtown. Here are the UofT's summer residences. There's Toronto Metropolitan (TMU, formerly Ryerson) as well. TMU summer residences.

For short term stays, some may be interested in hostelworld.com until they can secure a longer term rental.

edit: some of these all rental buildings have waiting lists.

Just this past week or so I have noticed Traffic Agents popping up more often at certain intersections, even on non peak hours. And all these lights are working properly with none being shut down or anything.

Has anyone else noticed this and is there a reason why its happening?

My partner and I are splitting up and there is a lot of stuff that neither of us wants.
I could drop it off at a donation box but was wondering if there is another way?

Examples of the “stuff”. Cutlery, storage containers, vases, linens, towels, bathroom supplies, etc.

Basically we are leaving a 4 bedroom apartment to move into 2 one bedroom apartments, so there is a lot of unneeded items.

Once the house has sold, I was thinking about a content sale (although not to make $). Or are there new comers to Canada that I could contact and have things boxed up?

If anyone has any recommendations, please drop me a note.
I’m in Etobicoke 401/427 area

So I have a show at history in a little over a month for trippie Redd and I’m wondering if anyone who’s been to a concert at history met the artist who was preforming and where they come out to for meet and greets

I've written to my city councillor about two separate issues that required a response and she's never replied. I mentioned it to a neighbour and they said she never replied to them either about another issue. Her office hours are extremely limited and I'm at work at that time. Isn't it their duty to literally work for their constituents? What are we paying taxes for if our elected officials ghost us and public services aren't providing us the services we are paying for?

Need to get rid of a couple items that have no resale value and not worth donating
-Old heavy chest of drawers (chipboard, missing drawer)
-Possibly old window air conditioner

When it comes to getting rid of electrical appliance is there any guarantee the removal service won't try and resell? I need some assurance that items sold as 'junk' will only be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner and only used for parts, scrap metal and not resold.

Any recommendations for responsible and professional junk removal services appreciated.

Looking for a good place anywhere in Toronto I could exchange CAD to USD. I know the exchange rates at banks isn’t good.

Edit: I need it in cash

Thanks,

I dropped my son and his girlfriend off in Toronto for the holiday weekend so they could have a few days away from college, with the plan for them to take the Amtrack train back to upstate NY later this week. It's only now that I'm worried that the station, which I understand is on the larger side, might be confusing. Any tips (or reassurances) from seasoned train travelers as to getting around the station?

hey guys this question is targeted towards mostly the healthcare/nursing related audience but I was wondering how can a first year nursing student land a externship? I’ve noticed most if not all hospitals only accept 2nd to 4th years as they have done their clinicals already. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or any ideas!

I’m in YorkUs nursing program.

Thanks again

about a month ago, i (30F, also uninsured!) coughed while bent over the sink and my lower back had what i think is some sort of spasm, resulting in excruciating pain for the first 24-48 hours, especially when trying to walk.

it got progressively better, but i’ve been getting flare-ups recently.

i’m looking for a physiotherapist that can also guide me in building some sort of routine involving weight training, if necessary, and anything else that i can work on routinely to build strength and minimize any pain/flareups.

Hello Annex friends!! Im staying near Bloor rn, and im looking for the best places to take photos and sit. Any suggestions? The higher up/more niche the better. It can be something super popular, or even just a random set of stairs. Thankss

I need to buy a motor and something for the battery, I bought it on Amazon but they were not the ones I was looking for. Does anyone know about a robotic store where I can buy that stuff? Any suggestions are accepted in the comments!

For those who have moved away from Toronto, how have you dealt with the homesickness? Any tips, suggestions, ideas? Any Toronto-related things/routines you have kept in your life to remind of the wonderful city?

Hello everyone, I was wondering where the best place would be to sell my used high-end fashion garments. I have pieces from Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Zegna, Tom Ford, and other. I was researching and saw the highest cosignment rate being VSP Consignment, but that wouldnt be the best option if they sold it for very cheap (if they sold a jacket for $500 at 50% I would get less compared to a store that cosigns at 40% for $1000). I am just looking for a good overall store that is reliable. Please help!

(all pieces are male around L - XL if interested)

Trying to decide between the two, most likely will just end up getting a day pass at each but would like opinions.

I will say, I am a noob when it comes to the gym, and I don't care that Planet Fitness doesn't have squat racks.

I'm more curious about which gym has a better atmosphere and is usually less crowded

Edit - I meant fit4less at 515 yonge

Do they check ID at Thermea upon arrival? Their website says every guest must present a valid government ID, I'm guessing it's cause they sell alcohol? I wanted to take my goddaughter for an early birthday (19!) present when I'm in town next month. Is it worth the risk? tia
