Suburban delights

Aztec Bowl and Turquoise Room, a former bowling alley and lounge, demolished to make way for residential apartments. The developers kept and incorporated the vintage bowling alley sign.

There used to be a dim sum place on Dundas St. E called Sin Quan (think that was the name) that had an entry that looked a lot like that place. Place was massive and it was a dim sum lover’s dream - wonder if that’s the same location.

This is the next mega restaurant to open at this venue. This afternoon, I walked around the Sino Mall and found that many of the shops I knew had not survived the C-19 onslaught...the bakery; the hairdresser; the knick-knack shop. The Asian supermarket is still going strong, as are the banh mi, tofu, and soy milk shops. Cheers, OtL

My wife and I discovered a nice little dim sum place right near my mother's house in Don Mills. It's an order-off-the-menu kind of dim sum, but boy was it good. It's in the Longo's plaza at York Mils and Leslie. Of course the GTA is spoiled by dim sum places.
 
Thanks, Vince. Noted. When in Mississauga, I recommend Happy Dim Sum: 680 Silver Creek Blvd, Unit 3. Not to dine in -the place is bare-bones but to take out. We usually take out frozen dim sum and steam it at home. Excellent quality, affordable, and a public secret among many Asian Canadians.

I can’t explain it, but this photo makes me both sad and sort of nostalgic (I want to say mournful, which fits too, what is nostalgia but a sort of mourning for a past that didn’t exist). It makes me think of my time living in Manhattan Kansas in the 90s, walking in the fog. The wind. That strange disjointedness of childhood.

Thanks for that ... because this is what photos should do in my opinion. I appreciate your words! :)
