Pebble Lee replied to Devin Parham's discussion Renting In Toronto in the group Toronto Nerdfighters"I actually rent a room just a short distance north of the downtown core, but I gotta tell you, with a ton of popular and amazing independent coffee shops in Toronto, you're gonna be hard pressed to open a coffee shop successfully...unless you…"
Pebble Lee commented on Pebble Lee's blog post Faith and Religion"That's certainly an optimistic way of looking at it. The thing is though, after I've expressed that I've tried it, and it's not for me, don't continue to pester me about it.
