While doing my daily read of BlogTO, I happily found out a few months ago about the LCBO being built at King and Spadina. I literally squealed in anticipation. You see, this news was all very good for me since it is a mere 5 minutes from my condo which would thereby save me a trip to the LCBO at First Canadian Place during my lunch break, as well as the incessent stares from co-workers who now think I have a drinking problem.
It is no surprise then that the day it opened (of which I just happened to walk by), I dropped by this location. Once inside I immediately flashed back to the young age of 19, when I could legally drink alcohol in Ontario. I was overwhelmed by the selection - there were shelves and shelves of wine to boot. In particular I noticed there had to at least be 3 shelves full of different types of vodka, they even had some soju. The vintage section was also well stocked and had a vast array of items. Overall, I was quite impressed that such a large branch would be located downtown (with the exception of its head office). I will definitely be fulfilling my alcohol needs from here now on. Yay, no more judgemental looks from my co-workers!
