This is an iconic store on the corner of Bathurst and Bloor. It was built many years ago and is slated to be torn down so there's a window to walk into a piece of Toronto history. It was one of the first discount stores - go in for the old pictures of stars, the old fixtures and hand painted signs for prices on all the products.

Toronto has a bikeshare program where you can rent bikes. They can be rented at one location and put back in another. It's outside, and easy to do. Then you can bike to many places on the bike paths. No cost for parking and you don't have to worry about traffic. And if you bike for less than 1/2 an hour and put the bike back, there's no fee. You can get another bike for your way back. Really fun way to get around!
