When I lived in Guelph you used to be able to get left over paint (and wood stain, and paint remover and so on and so on) in the hazardous waste depot. Basically, if it was something that you were supposed to dispose of at hazardous waste, and it was still viable, it was up for grabs.Back in my student days I painted many a thing using that free paint.Does anyone know if Toronto offers a similar

as you can tell, this is not the most useful blog out there. i had grand ideas for it, but questions didn't get answered and some questions i didn't think were worth posting.so, i'm going to close this blog off with a quick question:does a blog where you can ask general questions about toronto exist? if so, where is it so i can start going there.

okay, now that spring has sprung i have a very important question...where is there a good place to buy plants. somewhere reasonably priced but that has good quality. i know i could always go to home depot, but is there some smaller independant nursery that someone reccomends?

so, in smaller towns there are places that teenagers often go to and 'park'. some look out point, some secluded park, some dead-end country lane-way.where do teenagers go in toronto? is there such thing as a look-out point in toronto?i'm asking not to recapture my youth but because often those are nice places to go and sit in a car and talk for hours while sipping coffee with a friend if you

after living here for 9 months i finally went to high park yesterday.i just wandered around, walked the trails for almost two hours. it was wonderful.what a beautiful thing having something so amazing right here in the middle of the city. i can't reccomend it enough.i could picture enjoying the environment while listening to live music. does anyone know if there are any music festivals that

if you're in the new year fiscally prudent mode like many of us you'll be looking for free ways to entertain yourself.luckily in toronto there are many options. i welcome suggestions from any readers who stumble across this little blog. for now i'm going to tell you about theatre.toronto is full of small independent theatre companies. when people think of theatre often they think of big budget

I want to learn.Specifically I want to learn about cutting hair, 'cause, for whatever reason, it's something I love doing.I'd like to find somewhere to do a night class for that. This is probably more specific than I had intended the questions on this blog to be.But... it does lead me to another question, one that is general enough that it may be of use to others. Where would I find out about

oooh oooh ooh!my first requested question! ready?here we go:where do you find out about indoor ice skating in toronto?i will now do some research to find out, but comments letting me know are not only welcome, but encouraged.*UPDATE*it's listed in the parks and rec section of the City of Toronto website under Leisure Skating, but if you have a favourite rink, or heck, wanna tell us about some

ever wondered if that restaurant down the street from your office is any good? wish you knew how to find out without dropping any coin on the endevor? well, might i suggest you visit chowhound toronto. want something a bit more straight forward? well, NOW reviews lots of restaurants, it even has categories like 'best patio' and 'best vegetarian' and it has a searchable database.eye also

where is the best place to find out about free events in toronto? any kind of event would qualify, just as long as it's free and would get you out of the house.my thoughts:- toronto arts council has some stuff listed- the AGO has a free night- the ROM has a free night- metro morning sometimes has stuff listed, as does here and now- local theatres need volunteers to usher and such, and you get to

so, i have a question for you...where would one go (in Toronto or otherwise) to get a pair of gloves relined?i have a pair of blue leather gloves from eaton's (yes, they're a relic) and i can't find anything to fit me like these, but the lining is quickly reaching an end of it's useful days. surely i can get gloves re-lined. any suggestion as to where i might do so?

at this point this is just a thought. we'll see what comes of it. for now i'll start with getting your feedback on what kinds of categories to have (if i can figure out how to do categories).i was thinking:- food and drink- where to buy- music- theatre- visual artsany other suggestions for categories?
