Talk to the Goat
1st Tito then Van Man - you are clearly magnetic! 
This was a great post and I love the brightly colored milk cans at Dutch Dreams!
I love going on walks with you, they are SO much more enjoyable than my neighborhood!!
Stay way from the vans!!
I, too, love your walks...and am very glad to hear that you got away from van man. And also glad that he didn't try to pull you IN his van!
Interesting neighbourhood to investigate. It's nice to follow you on your tours. Take care.
i like
maybe you're too much for this world.
48 places where you can be served alcohol?
Where do you live? Heaven?
Goodness...I think it would be an adventure for me to go on a walk with you. You run into the strangest people. I love your stories about your walks. It's almost as if I am there with you. The pictures just add to it. You have a most interesting neighborhood. Oh, and don't get me started on bras. Can you say old lady looking? Ack...if I wouldn't be in danger of giving myself a concussion when I went for a jog, I'd just forget the stupid over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders all together.
Are there lots of people with bad haircuts in your neighborhood? Cause I can just imagine drinking to much and then trying to get a new style.
Lit can also mean really drunk or high. Not sure if that helps explain the store, but perhaps it does.
Dude. Have you thought about getting a big bitey dog? Not necessarily one who *does* bite, just one who might bite.
Also, on the topic of stores that sell omg everything . . . on the south side of Lakeshore, in the Port Credit area of Mississauga, there was a bridal/variety store. You could go in, buy a pack of smokes or a candy bar and outfit yourself and all of your dress wearing attendants in one fell swoop. Convenient indeed!
I just got back from a walk myself. At one point a guy yelled "Nerd!" at me. Like it was supposed to be an insult. Then 20 minutes later a flla clearly making a six figure income pulls up in his BMW convertible smiles at me and says "Hey Love."
I smiled and proceeded on my way, but I still don't like being referred to in such an intimate way when we haven't even met.
Why is it such a bother to walk while being a woman!
Later!
-P
Okay, Jay, just what kind of irresistible. hip-swaying are you doing on these innocent strolls?
You must really have it going on.
Or, you have a high proportion of creepy guys in your area. One of the two.
Are you sure he wasn't your grandfather?
Blinds, draperies and bras. Victoria's Windows?
I wear a C-cup, too, and it's nearly impossible to find one that isn't padded. If my tata's were any bigger, I would have to walk on all-fours. Pushing a wheelbarrow.
Robyn - Just today a man told me I should get a dog, while walking on the street! How weird is that? Not nearly so weird as the bridal variety store.
Mark - absolutely nothing; in fact, the only vibe I'm putting out is "is everyone this sweaty or is it just me?"
I have no idea what's going on.
The next time you feel the need to take off your pants and sit in front of a fan...just remember that I'm your biggest admirer.
"Lit" also means drunk, or maybe high. Still doesn't make much sense.
Is June Stalker Month and nobody told me?
Fringe addict, huh? I do believe a couple of my Fringe performer friends are playing Toronto... I'll let you know.
best ice cream ever.

Blinds and bras? The owners seem like they might be awfully ashamed of something.
Diesel and Vince - you're preaching to the choir.
You must definitely have a few curves going on. Cool pix BTW, unique.
Yes, but did you have the egg in your pocket during the Van Man incident?? 
Your neighborhood sounds like its alot of fun.
holy hell, jay! i can see why you're never bored! all i see on my daily walk are trees and ugly mailboxes in the shape of dobermans or with cutesy little flags attached.
btw... i like the idea of getting your hair done then going to the bar. convenient!
Kinda makes me want to live in a bigger city. I walk outside my house and I see other houses and some mailboxes. If I walk outside my neighborhood, I see some stop lights. And that's about it.
I think the bra thing evens everyone out. Us flatchesters get the cute bras and those with nice boobs get the grandma bras. Ask any girl with small boobs to trade her boobs for bigger ones and beige bras and she'll say yes. If she says no, she's lying.
I'm glad you ran away from vanman. In just about every scary-serial killer movie, the psycho/killer is always driving a van. Perfect example:Silence of the Lambs.
;O)
I don't like that he's being called "van man"
there are good vans in this world - i know two
The bra sale bin is ALWAYS a travesty. Though once I found a really cute lacy black and pink one in the C bins. Totally my fave and I felt like Christmas had come early. Granted I had to fight off at least three other women to secure it as mine, but it was SO worth it!
Stalkers huh? Can't say I've had any... yet... As far as I know anyway.
I myself am bit of a corporate tool... in fact, just reading this makes me want to go rent a movie... Perhaps that's because I'm overly tired, and some movies always manage to put me to sleep. I'll think about this more later.
Oh, perhaps the money wall mural thing is to get people thinking they have more money than they actually do so that they will go into the Mac's Milk convenience store and buy shit they don't need... ?
Oh, and try digging through the DDs... the only thing you'll find are bras that you think are too big, are awful colours (or black, thankfully), and then you realize that they fit you... and that you won't ever be able to dig through the brightly coloured and fun As or Bs... 'tis tragic really..
Dutch Dreams is definitely worth a stop, even if I usually skip the whipped cream they top every cone with.
your neighborhood beats mine, hands down. Now all you need is a good butcher to bribe you with meat and you'd be set.
I love your walks.
Sounds like fun. I liked the one about the movie and snacks.
I once had to do a neighborhood study for a geography class. This post would probably pass you through this class. Very cool getting a look at your surroundings!
Enjoy reading about your neighborhood jaunts but also worried about all the creeps that seem to appear making it seem like an obstacle course.
I wonder... How do bras go with blinds and draperies!
You must live in a really fun neighbourhood!
Kat - no, I did not have the egg with me!
Angel - I love little boobies. They're cute, and so much perkier. I've seen a lot of god-awful big ones. The little ones stay nice forever. I'm trying to convince mine to decrease as we speak.
Just seeing the picture of Dutch Dreams makes me want to go there and check it out. Love the profusion of wild colours!
Good grief girl, you're going to have to start dressing like an old woman when you hit the streets. It seems all those who incorrectly think of themselves as "babe magnets" also think you're the one they want to magnet.
D cup bras. I SO know what you mean. I wish I was a nice little C again. *sigh*
I read this and I feel like I'm in some grown up version of Willie Wonka which makes me think of Johnny Depp and those big, scary, white teeth.
When I become and "old guy" i'm going to dress so out of style. I'll make people wonder if i have Alzheimers
I love the cinema mural. Jack is sticking his hand down Rose's blouse. Pooh is hiding honey in a filing cabinet. Marilyn Monroe has some sort of lazy eye/nervous tick.
Awesome.
you know what tends to ward off the crazies? an iPod. or, at the very least, you can pretend you don't hear them.
this tactic is most effective when paired with large, dark sunglasses.
Lit doesn't make a good band name, and it certainly doesn't make a good store name...unless it sales lamps.
I never noticed that about bra selections.. I wonder why there would be prettier bras for As and Bs when it would seem one would need a bra more with a C or D? I like being able to go braless myself..
You think it's hard finding pretty C-cups? Try H-cups. That's right, I have big boobs.
that was a long walk.
it made me tired.
i think i need to take a nap.
oh wait...it's night time.
i think i'll just have a beer instead and then go to bed.
Your 'hood is a lot cooler than mine!
You do have a knack for adventure in an afternoon's walk.
Please tell me you remembered to put your pants back on---or that you were incredibly cooler when you went out.
You have such adventures when you walk. I walk a lot too, but the best I've ever got was a flash of pink cotton panties as a girl sat down on the bus across from me.
Yes, I know, bus? What does bus have to do with walking?
I take the bus to different neighbourhoods, and walk there. I meet girls, tell them I believe in love at first sight, they are my inspriration, my reason for living, that fate meant for us to meet right there (where ever there is) right then (when ever that might be). Then I ask them to take a ride with me in random green vans.
Well, someone has to provide you with stories to post here...
I think there are spitting men in every city in the world!
Re # 11: I try very hard not to wear clothing that is skin tight, but it is getting increasingly harder without bying new clothes every week!!
heh round here it's all nail places, I swear just in swinton alone there are (at least) 10 places to get your nails done - why? because there's feck all else to do around here.
..and as a D cup, don't get me started on bra sales either. *sniff*
That ice cream shop scares me. And what is it with all these weirdos stalking you? Sheesh!
OMG, that paragraph about the blockbuster/grocery store mural conspiracy! Laughing my ass off over here.
Other than the stalkers, it sounds like you live in a great neighborhood. I mean, I love to shop for bras and mini-blinds at the same time!
I like your writing, I like your writing when accompanied by photos, you're good at both, writing and photographiing. A simple walk with you becomes a great adventure, how good you are to see and describe how little things in life are beautiful.
just hit the wrong button and deleted my previous comment - it went along the lines of how much I liked the photos and that your commentary was brilliant - brought the scene to life. And D cups! - ever seen E's? That's my girls!
Oh i have to find that bra store. Here the only places you can find A's are in the pre-teen department and they come in pink and lime green with cartoon characters on them!
What is with all these stalker type guys Jay?
And to follow in a van - how lazy is that!
I have been enjoying your neighborhood excursions. Its nice to remember it's spring somewhere - especially when it's so damn cold out here.
Take care.
loved reading this
if you have any luck talking you boobs into shrinking, be sure to let me know what you've said to them, mine could use a good talking too.
i'm kind of sad you didn't take a pic of #11, or did you?!
Hah, Lorna, yes, I did remember to repants myself.
Sounds an intriguing place. And that's just at the statement:-
"48 places where you can be served alcohol"
Actually the Russian Stuff shop sounds very fascinating.
as much as I hate shopping, I might enjoy it in your neighborhood--if I can stop at the bars for refreshments. Don't dream of green vans...
So, essentially all there is to do in Canada is have pretty hair and get wasted?
I was worried that you lived in some sort of ghetto but after reading this and seeing the pictures, I am just jealous. What a great neighborhood, and I find those men amuzing.
