| From: D. Joe via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | I plan to make it around the end of the lake and to roll into town in | plenty of time to make the meeting, possibly any dinner that's planned | if I learn of it in time. Great! | > George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre | > 245 Church Street, Room 203 | > Ryerson University | > | > <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23447525> | | I see the building occupies the entire block. Is the entrance we use in | fact on the Church St side of the building? Yes. There is an entrance in the middle of the Church Street side and one at the north-west corner of the building. | > ## Schedule | > | > * 6:00 pm - Please discuss on the general mailing list (i.e. <talk@gtalug.org>) where you want to go for dinner. | | I don't know the area well enough to suggest anything but maybe this | reminder is enough to kick off some discussion? People have stopped bothering to discuss (too bad). Some people go to Kabul Express (North side of Dundas, just east of Church. <https://wiki.gtalug.org/pre-meeting_dinner#kabul_express> | > * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. | > * 9:00 pm - After each meeting, a group of GTALUGers move to The Imperial Pub (54 Dundas St East) for refreshments and more socialising. | | Somewhat off topic, but does the stretch of College St just west of | Spadina still have several computer shops? Call me old fashioned or just | a curmudgeon, but I try to get not everything online from Amazon et al | and still appreciate the opportunity to window shop, if nothing else. There are a few. Not as many as there used to be. I don't shop there very often. Canada Computers is there, twice (but you have closer ones). Tech Depot (for off-lease stuff and other fascinating junk). The U of T Bookstore has a not-so-great computer store within it. The book store is on the North West corner of St. George and College. There are surely others but I'm not up to date on them.
