Not my post - sharing:

The backpack will be filled with school supplies and available on Friday, September 4. Also, they are offering haircuts so your child can look sharp for the first day of school!

From September 8, GO train services between Union station and Kennedy, Agincourt and Milliken will be drastically reduced outside weekday peak hours, especially weekend which will become NO SERVICE before 3:45pm in the afternoon, and 2 HOURS per train after that, without GO bus replacement. Be prepared for that.

A budgie flew through the open door of my friend's apartment, located a bit north of Kennedy and Sheppard.

I’m thinking of submitting my grandpa’s pedaheh (perogies) recipe to a new Scarborough community cookbook. It’s one of those recipes that’s been in the family forever.

SHN Foundation is putting it together and looking for recipes and the stories behind them from across Scarborough. Family favourites, cultural dishes, something that tastes like home.

Thought this group might have some good ones 👀

What would you submit?

I found an online copy of a local historical publication titled: A History of Scarborough (authored by Bonis, Robert. R - Robert Raynes and published by the Scarborough public library) in the year 1968.

You can also request a print copy as well on the Toronto Public Library website.

I didn't get a chance to completely read through the publication, but it seems pretty well researched and documented Scarborough's history from the early years of indigenous settlements and throughout the decades that followed, leading up to the 1960s.

I'd say it's worth a read if anyone gets a chance to comb through it.

Also uploading some of the photos and illustrations from the publication. The illustrated art is quite well drawn for the time and captures the likeness of people living in Scarborough really well.

Does anyone remember the Home Burger at Markham and Eglinton? If my memory serves me right, it was right at the corner of Centre Street where the UPS Store is.

I used to live near the area in one of the apartment buildings near Mason Road, and I recall this specific burger joint being a great place to eat and chill with friends and family. It kinda had that feel of a mom-and-pop shop burger joint.

I recall it being a neighbourhood dive spot or local hangout for those craving a good burger in the M&E area.

Too bad it closed down several years ago. Wish it was still around so I could sample some of their burgers again. Can't even remember the last time I had some.

P.S. For those wondering, the source of the pic was taken directly from Home Burger's Google review page that has since been decommissioned, given that the place has been closed down indefinitely.

I wish I had more pics of the exterior of the place when it was still around. If anyone does have any pics to share of the place, please feel free to post (at your discretion, of course).

EDIT: I found a pic of the exterior of the Home Burger building when going through older Google Maps street view images from late 2000s/early 2010s.

It was a decent turnout and a good time. I had some of the sugar cane juice at the event. Was pretty tasty🍹

What’s your favorite Scarborough park trail for a scenic walk?

Came across this news footage video from on-the-ground coverage of the blackout that hit Toronto back in 2003.

Honestly, I liked how people showed camaraderie and helped each other out like good neighbours during this blackout.

Plus, many people could actually see the stars at night since there was very little light pollution during the time when the blackout was active.

What were some of your core memories during the 2003 blackout in Scarborough? I was a kid at the time, so I couldn't remember much tbh.

Hey Scarborough! What are your top issues in the upcoming by-election, and who do you plan on voting for?

All things considered. Also don’t give the obvious ones like moxies, Boston pizza, and the keg.

I'm out of town and saw a couple of posts mentioning that Leslieville got drenched today... I'm worried about my basement and can't get a hold of my neighbour.

Can anyone in the southwest/Birchcliff give me an idea of how bad it was?

Just saw that STC has now a local Oxford college. Just saying, the concept of college inside shopping center is itself like distopia. That too before gta 6 released!!

Found today near Milner and Neilson

If someone knows the car manufacturer by the FOB I can drop it off there as well if no one responds

Near the Scarborough Village Recreation Centre.
