- The Crystal at the ROM has finished construction and lots of galleries are now open. While I have to admit that it looks a lot better than what I remember feeling when they were proposing such an idea, I'm shocked and disappointed at the prices of admission to get into the gallery. I'm happy to know that they are also doing bag check upon entering the museum, but sad to see that the crystal isn't completely finished as there's still lots of construction going on. So what...they had the opening party too early?
- Holt's on Bloor has (and still is) undergone a reno and has done a great job with their first floor. Mind you, when I say first floor, that's the floor above ground floor. I forget if I'm referring to it the American or European way.
- The price of a local call using a pay phone has doubled an id now a whopping 50cents! I can't believe it! That's a big difference. Anyway, I guess I still like the flat-rate system compared to the keep-putting-money-in-to-keep-talking method. I never did get the hang of that in Switzerland.
- A Lucky Brand store has opened up in the Eaton's Centre. I remember going to LA in university and visitng this store on the Manhattan Beach strip and thinking that it was the coolest thing ever.
- The Varsity Centre (AKA the new Varsity Stadium) had been built and looks amazing!!! I like the fact that it's accessible to people just passing by and interesting in what's going on inside.
