Signed up for a soccer league over the spring which had their games located here. If you live…read moredowntown this is not a half bad place to get your soccer in. Pros: 2 fields that are encased in a dome Cons: location is not optimal washroom is in a trailer First thing to note is that this place is located basically at Polson pier. If you don't drive, getting here may prove difficult. I think there is a bus that comes down here but it is rather infrequent. My games were on Sundays and I never saw a single TTC bus around every time I went so there may or may not be service on the weekends as well. Soccer World shares it's facilities with a golf driving range and beach volley ball courts. Soccer World is tucked away all the way in the back of the facility. You need to get through the driving range and then through the beach volleyball courts to get to the dome. It's a little bit of a trek. The fields are encased in a dome so there are never any rain outs. It can be pouring and the game can still be played. The field inside the domes are kept well. It is artificial turf of course so be prepared to have those annoying black bits in your shoes at the end of every game. There are no washrooms inside the dome itself. You need go around the back to.. a trailer. Yeah, not appealing at all. There's a washroom back at the driving range, but that's a pretty long trek and when you're mid game, not very optimal. Even though the dome protects against rain, the temperature inside fluctuates a lot. Some games we were sweating buckets just sitting on the benches watching, some we were freezing and had to put on something extra even while playing. Also, if it's raining, the dome protects you inside. However, the trek to the dome will probably leave you soaked before you even get there. All in all, it's amazing to know there is a soccer field located downtown to begin with. If I lived downtown, this would definitely be a useful place for me. It's not the best place, but beggars can't be choosers.

I paid myself a visit recently and I'm so glad I did. It's more than just a hill with a good photo-op of the city skyline. Right next to the hill, there's a nice cafe (Rooster Coffee) where you can pick up one of my personal favourite spots to grab green tea/tea latte. If you want to throw yourself a little picnic East Chinatown is nearby for some cheap eats. Isn't this the perfect date spot to hang out during a sunset in warm weather? In winter, this is a prime spot for tobogganing. If you go down the hill, there's a playground where I see talented people busting out gymnastic moves as they use it to work out. You can do a discovery and nature walk down the Don River Trail. Now if you give yourself more time, you also explore out West to Riverdale Farm and Cemetery.

What a frustrating shopping experience. One would think during the busy holiday shopping season,…read morethe goal of retailers - once consumers have made it into their stores because of their dazzling advertisements or quality of their merchandise - is to ensure that they take in as much money and process as many customers as possible; while making the patrons' shopping experience delightful. This was far from what I would be accustom to (unless I was shopping intentionally at Walmart) as we were made to wait an inordinate amount of time for three customers ahead of us who had complicated transactions to process. Noticing that there were three cash terminals, only one person manning the cash registers, and a number of salespeople working the floors, it was frustrating to stew in line. Having engaged someone who appears to be the store manager (name tag says, Jay), he informed me that the second cashier had called in sick. Throughout our exchange, it felt felt like he was telling me to patiently wait. He then went to assist other customers, and when he was done, I inquired why they cannot open up another register? To which he offered that not everyone is qualified to work the registers. I suspect Adidas has an extremely high standard of hiring where each employee has very specific and rigid role; irregardless of what's logical and what is beneficial to shoppers. Being annoyed and further infuriated with the lack of customer service (although he was fairly pleasant), I found my shopping experience excruciating. I think my attitude of Adidas was too generous prior to this experience. Going forward, I'll adjust my expectations to what I would be subjected to by taking the TTC (albeit with a pleasant driver). [As an aside, to add insult to injury. After waiting for about 10 minutes in line, once we approached the only cashier working, the said "manager" served the next customer behind us; thus, opening up a second register. He must have really hated me for speaking up, and figured that this must be his way of getting back at my inquisitive personality. Unfortunately, being docile isn't one of my traits.]
