Hello!
I'm looking for any recommendations for a barber that does good work since the fellow I have been to moved further away.
Anywhere within about 15 minutes of the Trafalgar & Upper Middle area would be great, but I'm open to suggestions further away.

Edit: Thank you for the suggestions so far, I have a few places to check out. Much appreciated.
Anybody know who owns the massive estate at 1111 Lakeshore Road W? It's massive! Even the front gates must have cost a fortune.
Has anyone been to this location in the afternoon recently? Wondering what the wait is like, not sure if it’s worth going to this one while I’m at the office, or if just drive to the one near my house instead. TIA!

Hey everyone, I am a 34 year old with 3 kids. Looking for work. I have lots of skills with reno, construction and mechanical experience. With that in mind, I have been applying to everything and anything I can. I want to support my family in anyway I can. I was laid off suddenly after losing a parent and it has put me in a position that I do not feel o can trust my employer.
I want more than anything to work and take care of bills. Getting out of the house and contributing to society is always a plus. If you need someone or know someone whom needs help DM me. I drive, I am punctuale and desperate.
Thanks In advance!
Love this place! The food is always delicious and the service is always friendly.

Just want to let everyone know how great this place is!

Did that post made by the young girl asking for help get deleted? Someone had offered to pay for an Uber to a women's shelter and I am just wondering whether she was made it to the shelter? I felt like helping but couldn't get past the idea that it might be a scam. It was really cold last night and it's been on my mind. Anyways anyone know anything?
