  1. I cannot tell you how many times I've driven by the Wendy's on Plessis and have seen the drive thru wrapped around with cars going back to Regent. And this is even during odd hour times like 10 pm at night. The area is still heavily into burgers and french fries. The whole side of town has some options but it's very limited... it's sad that the fancy Italian place is considered the Olive Garden lol, the top Vietnamese restaurant is a donut store, Henderson Hwy has basically nothing but fried chicken places etc.... Compared to when I'm at work (Polo Park and Kenaston area) in which they have multiple options for each style of cuisine.
  2. Perkins was replaced by R n R which is basically the same as Perkins (frozen white people food heated up). My Mom likes it... it seemed to be full of a lot of seniors both times that I went with her. I'm assuming the reason that this area is basically all greasy hamburger / chicken places is because of the clientele in Elmood/T-Cona are not the type that eats out side of comfort food. I was at KP yesterday in the food court for about a half an hour and the placed was packed and each place had a consistent line of 5 people or so... with exception of the newer African place which didn't get a single customer at all.
  3. Living in the same area.... that area of town desperately needs less fast food, greasy spoon, or generic white people food (i.e. Perkins/Applebees/Boston Pizza) restaurants and sure can use a Thai, Greek, or Italian restaurant. Fixed that for you Rae's is really good but have really over priced themselves and they removed the kids menu when ownership changed. The last time I went they had a plate of Yam Fries as a daily special and it was $14 dollars... that's insane.
  4. So I should start on the cocaine then?
  5. Do they have some kind of study or research in which they spoke with non CFL fans in Canada who said "I would only watch if it were 4 downs" Because this sounds like a non existent issue? I know from my circle of friends/acquaintances is that the reason they don't watch CFL is because they don't like football at all OR they feel that the quality of football is significantly lower then the NFL and/or they only have time to follow one league. I've never had a conversation with anyone saying "I sure wish CFL was 4 downs".
  6. Wendys and A & W. The Popeye sandwiches are really big and I've had nothing but consistent and good food from them. The location on Henderson is always busy and always clean and fast. KFC on the other hand... dear lord... just terrible. The restaurants are also always in just terrible shape both visually out dated and dirty as h-e-double-hockey-sticks. The locations on Lakewood, Portage, Henderson are always absolutely filthy. The drinks also taste weird , I'm guessing because of dirty machines.
  7. You don't understand the complaints of having prices that have skyrocketed all while the food quality is barely passable? McDonalds used to be good for garbage food at a super low price... nowdays it's cheaper for us as a family to go to Wendy and it tastes way better because they use a much higher quality of ingredients. McDonalds is so bad that even 7-11 has surpassed it in quality for chicken/fries and price. I also can't think of any time in the last 20 years where someone has said "Mmmm McDonalds has the best burgers in town". It's usually people saying "Why did I get McDonalds I feel sick, uggggggh".
  8. Are the bones good? The last times I went to the Bay it looked like the place was falling apart.
  9. Bring back low prices.... McDonalds is charging a premium price for absolutely god awful food. Everything on the menu should be slashed in half for the price.
  10. Of course I knew Classic movie!
  11. Wasn't Zach the QB for Saunders 1000 yard season? This is a good signing.
  12. The longest I went without leaving the house was 17 days this winter It's easy to do with an Xbox and Switch
  13. I think the issues was the drivers having no idea on what they were doing. They piled a huge amount of snow in the middle of a street (bus route) and left it causing a back up in traffic. Dude got out and reamed them out. I think the issues are they hire new drivers for little money who do a crappy job.
  14. The private contractors are so hit and miss at clearing snow. I had one dude flipping out at the other guys this winter because they were destroying everything and causing a huge mess. I've definitely seen a drop off in care/quality since they have gone private.
  15. Absolutely horrible news... for years people have said she was going to do something stupid like this because she kept drinking and driving. Terrible sad story.
  16. Oh boy as in yet another shitty Friesen article? Willie said the exact canned phrases that any pro player would say about a departed teammate. Also Friesen is going to make something out of one guy leaving town and yet ignore the fact that this team has signed an insane amount of guys to extensions.
  17. We had went on opening day (a week or so ago) and they were training the kids at the front counter. They may need a few weeks to get their stuff together.
  18. Confirmed I used to work at McD's years ago and they did the same with the milkshakes and used some other nasty substitute for real milk and offered "triple thick shakes" that taste like crap. McD's ice cream isn't great but at least it stays somewhat consistent. We used to go to Dairy Queen during our break for work and it didn't matter if it was hot or cold outside the moment anyone would get a cone or anything it would instantly start running and melting. The Blizzards are the same way in which it becomes soup within 5 minutes. Meanwhile when I go to Sweet Tops on Henderson Hwy and then drive home 15 minutes away... the ice cream is still perfect and my blizzard remains in a solid form until I eat the whole thing. With DQ it's a race against time where you basically have to drink it because it's so watery.
  19. My recommendation.... don't go to DQ at all. The quality of the ice cream is absolutely terrible. Visit the local small shops and you will have significantly better "blizzards" that use real ice cream and they also have a wide variety of toppings. The high content of water in the ice cream basically makes anything from DQ melt the instant that they give it to you. Meanwhile when I go to Sweet Tops, Sub Zero, Cool Encounters.... it doesn't turn into a wet mess within seconds. My kids can actually eat cones without me needing to grab 20 napkins lol.
  20. Superstore has been the go to grocery shopping since I was a child, the prices are far better then Safeway. Now Wal-Mart on the other hand is a hellhole..... mostly because of the clientale.
  21. I've been watching lots of Scott Hall matches and older stuff popping up in my youtube feed from the 90's. Both current day WWE and AEW are not even remotely close to that era. Even the mid card guys from those days are far more over then nearly everyone is these days. It's sad.
  22. Arbuckle has shown far more then Franklin ever did.
  23. Or bump the season up and have the buildings sold out without the issue of "hope" that fans will dress appropriately. The numbers have shown that attendances decline as the weather cools off. It would be silly to use one example for one game for one team in one season.
