The Beaches Long Strip for Sale

You can purchase "the Beaches Long Strip" for 30$, or you can buy 2 for 50$. There is free drop off in the Beaches, otherwise it can be picked up.

Either you can email me at: aaronlecours@gmail.com or give me a ring at: 647-919-5102

There is a limited supply so let me know as soon as possible!

Best to everyone, new art coming soon!

The Beaches cut-up

The Beaches cut up, this way the long piece can be viewed at a better resolution for different pieces of the strip.

Scroll Through Beaches

After much work and so much drawing (probably 200 hours for all the pieces in the Beaches). What I originally set out to accomplish is complete. You can now check out my giant pan of the Beaches.

I'll cut them into pieces and put them up in neighbourhood chunks in the near future.
Don't be afraid to go out and enjoy the Beaches (even though it is winter).

The Thai Grill

The Thai Grill is not just another Thai restaurant, it's a cozy eatery with a beautiful patio.

With many dishes on the menu, including Garlic Shrimp (delicious). The portions of most 

of themeals a large enough to feed two, but if you're greedy like me you won't share it.

All in all, with Thai Grill and Green Basil in the Beaches there's no reason to leave

the Neighbourhood to get a good Thai fix.

The Dog Market

The Dog Market is a great little shop, with competitive pricing and plenty of upscale toys and treats for your dog to devourer. The customer service is exquisite, I am always greeted with a smile.

I don't own a dog (even though it is my life goal to own a basset hound), but my girlfriend fosters cats and we went in there looking for a litter box, and found one at a very reasonable price. 

The Dog Market also has a doggie bakery section, filled with treats as high as the eye can see near the counter. These gourmet treats make me wish I was a dog. There is also a grooming section to clean up your mutts and meows. 

I highly recommend The Dog Market to any dog or cat owner in the area.

Beach Bird

Beach Bird, well known in the Beaches for its large patio and homestyle cooking.

There are many meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including: crepes, steaks, and many pasta dishes.

The Beach Bird is on the south side of the street, which is often not as ventured as the north side, but it is worth the cross-over for the reasonably priced food and receptive service.

On top of this Beach Bird does take-out, and the new-management (from what I hear) is a delight.

All in all, if you live in the Beaches or are just stopping by, come check out Beach Bird for all it has to offer.

Green Basil

I have gone to Green Basil many times, tried many dishes, and I am never disappointed. My girlfriend will often order the Chicken Mango Salad and I the Pad Thai. The restaurant has decor that is very inviting and could easily work for intimate dining or eating as a group.

The lunch special, which is less than ten dollars, can easily be split between two people if you're on a budget, or eaten all by yourself if you really like to eat.
