    Without the smoke, we would've had a heat wave this week. 

    Southern Ontario was brutally hot this week. Glad to be home but this smoke…

    Yeah all involved have literally a week of knowing this was a likely scenario.  Should be able to make a call by like 4 PM before people start traveling to the stadium.

    After travelling to TO for that debacle last week we just decided that we need a for sure “Go” by about that time or we’re not driving the hour + to the game tonight. 

  2. Watching that crap efforts in person in enemy territory was just about the least fun I have had at a football game. I do have a new found respect for Argo fans, they were engaged with the game, knowledgeable and for the most part respectful of us as visiting fans. 

    Even had someone ask WTF is up with Collaros, why is he looking so bad. I think he was a litttle surprised with the frankness of my assessment. Streveler is our best QB, just needs to get his passing on target better, not the shoelaces and not 3 feet over their head, somewhere in the middle would be perfect.

    Holy hell the bag policy at BMO field is draconian!

    You can bring and empty water bottle to fill, but it can’t be metal or glass, only plastic. No musical instruments, does that mean no cowbell? I’m on a plane in less than 12 hours and I still don’t know what obnoxious noise makers I can take. 
     

    Spent $30 on a clear vinyl bag to be able to carry something, no sneaking the mini chocolate bars I normally do to home games.

    220 I think? No clue on the bell policy. I am more of a sit and fume kinda fan.

    Anyone know the best way to get to the stadium? We are staying in Vaughan.

    We are in 106 across from the Argo bench, I noticed some seats opened up behind the Bomber bench but I haven't been able to get them to call me back about switching. Let me tell you, their box office people are no where close to what Carol and Bailey of the Bombers are. This guy I have been dealing with would barely be qualified to be the gum on the sole of their shoes. The reek of MLSE Toronto centre of the universe arrogance is strong...

    TTC to Union Station and walk or take the street car to the stadium. I booked us a real nice place right downtown for that night so we could walk and then we are off exploring other glories of Southern Ontario.

    Interesting. An article from today says the first location will be on Pembina but they are planning on building multiple restaurants in Winnipeg.

    Jimmy John’s opening first Manitoba location with drive-thru in Winnipeg

    The information I have is two locations in the works for opening this fall.

    I think that Olive Garden could do well if they were to open smaller shops that offer soups / salads / breadsticks and maybe a few basic items from the menu and/or sandwiches.   The current high prices and extreme low quality of food (outside of the soup/salad) will not work in any new area that more then likely already has far better options.   The brand itself also mainly appeals to old white people (similar to Swiss Chalet, Sals, Smittys etc...) so long term I'm not sure it can survive without an update.     

     

    It is my 12yr old that continually asks for us to go there. Loves to load up on breadsticks and pasta.

    I don't know if the Argos or Stamps will sell 30,000 tickets all year....

    Argos might get a sell out on July 26 when the Bombers come to town. When I was looking for seats last week, there were not as many available as I expected.
