I found myself with time to spend one afternoon in Etobicoke by Bloor and Islington. I don’t frequent this area but I was to visit a friend and I was too early. I opted to scout the streets and when I got my fill of old houses that would give you flashbacks of the 70s […]

Last week was just like déjà vu. I got to dine again with Diona, a.k.a. TitaFlips just like old times. I always love having that opportunity as I know I would again have a very good conversation over a very good meal. Buca saw good reviews anywhere I checked, I know this one would be […]
