Discount Clothing Streeter
So there TOist was, navigating the stuffy route from sub to street, by way of the Bay Bloor shopping corridor. In front of Everything Must Go!, a shopname that we intone in a loud, car salesman voice each time we pass it, stood a man that we’ve noticed before, loitering in front of the $9.99 offerings.
Salesman: You know, we’ve sold two thousand of these (he points to an inoffensive quilted coat, retail price $9.99).
Woman: Oh. Cool.
Man: Yeah, you know I’m the one responsible for buying them. And they’ve done really well.
Woman: Uh…that’s…great.
Two thousand? TOist doesn’t dare impune the quality of garb at Everything Must Go! but that seems a little high, even for a frugal chic quilted coat.

Portobello is a weird little market cafe on Queen St. West. The sandwiches are decent, but if we were teaching high school, and the decor was in our class, we’d have to give it an Incomplete. As we sat trying to keep our meatballs from leaving their baguette for our plate whom did we spy? Globe TV guy John Doyle buying ‘Sani-Chat’ kitty litter. Meatball Subs and Kitty litter. Was there ever a more unsavoury combo?
