"When I found out the hours were 10-5:00 I rushed to be home before 4 but it was still too late as almost everyone had packed up on the 'shore. Mimico still had some entertainment but Long Branch and NT were pretty well finished by 4:00. Why…"

"My Aunt who is on oxygen and lives in the same area as you was tortured by her neighbour's campfires. (She was on the north side of the 'Shore.) Open-air burning is not allowed in Toronto. If you can't track the source and talk to…"

"...now if we could only get rid of a few cheque cashing places and nail salons."

"I one hundred percent agree. I'm a second generation New Torontonian/Villager (moved away came back) and I think the name Lakeshore Village is actually more representative. In any case can't we make it a tomato tomahto thing? I started a…"

"Thank you Schteevie. Us too. We did the bathroom last year, this year we're working on the backyard."

"I couldn't agree more with this post! I love this neighbourhood; my wife and I are constantly amazed that we are able to get 90% of what we need (and many things we don't need, but enjoy, such as Olenka's chocolate :) on a short walk…"

"Okay, I think we're all alluding to the same end goal and some thought provoking things have been said. If we didn't care about this place we wouldn't all be here writing about it. Thanks for the discussion. Brian"

"I'm not a 'starbucks' kind of guy; I don't even drink coffee. And I don't need premium places to buy my all of my goods, but I do appreciate clean, uncluttered, and updated display windows. And I acknowledge that there has…"

"I'm not in denial about retail in Lakeshore. But I think the reason you got Kathy and my attention right away is because when someone posted something that's kind of interesting and sort of supports part of why we like to live here (its…"

"Fleeceline & Lake Shore"

"mind if I ask what intersection you are closest to?"

"My main intention was to point out the flaws in coming up with the score. I agree that we have gems of stores and other services, but the sidewalks on Lake Shore Blvd through Mimico are really far too narrow. There are no benches, few garbage cans,…"

""The score tells us nothing about the quality of those services, nor the quality and the attractiveness of the spaces we have to walk through to get there. Nor does the score take into account the barriers which are in place to prevent us from…"

"Ah, I see! The wonders of miscommunication over technology. That said, I still have to lodge a minor defense over Anthony's reply. I still don't find it that negative! I guess I like a (reasoned) debate over how we can improve our…"

"Hey skywalker, thanks for posting this. This is a really neat use of public information to subjectively evaluate areas for their strengths. I love that this community is finding and posting these things to share with everyone. Brian"

"Hi Patricia, Sorry for the confusion. I was not frustrated (I assume the same for Kathy) with skywalker's post at all. I loved skywalker's post and was happy to see it posted. This is a really neat subjective way of measuring what is…"
