Uxbridge Is Having A Street Party

Strawberry Threads and the Tin Cup are throwing a street party as part of their grand opening. A good portion of the downtown area was the subject of "The Big Dig" this past summer with the main street closed off for a good portion of that time. Now with the Big Dig almost completed the local merchants are throwing a street party on Saturday the 17th. There will be a fashion show 3:15 a cocktail reception at 4:00 and Lukas Rossi will perform from 5:30 to 6:30.

Google Street level viewing is now available in Toronto and it is relatively easy to use.

Last summer the google crew were in Toronto taking street level photos. Now you can access them on Google maps. All you have to do is search for the address on google maps, zoom all the way in then click on the little man in the upper left hand corner of the map.

As a teenager I lived for some time with my grandmother in Toronto at 31 Simpson Ave so I tried it out and after a few minutes of orientating my self here is the result. You can send the link by email or add it to a web site

Hints Of Rising Interest rates

Is now the best time to lock in your mortgage? Before jumping in with both feet one should look at, and compare, the effect an increase will have on your comfort level or your ability to pay. Locking in now will ensure your rate for a given period of time but it will be higher than your current floating rate resulting in an immediate increase in your mortgage payments.

While mortgage rates are at historicaly low levels two TD economists feel that Mortgage rates may soon rise if the real estate market does not cool off. August home sales were up more than 18% across Canada over last year and avergae home prices continued to rise. Continued surging home sales and rising prices may force the Bank to rethink its pledge to keep its interest rates at .025% till mid 2010. Should this happen we may soon see interest rates rise.

National Post ---The possibility exists that the Bank of Canada may have to break its conditional pledge on interest rates should the housing market continue its red-hot performance, economists at Toronto-Dominion Bank said Tuesday.
